+Turns off syscall emulation patch for ptrace (SYSEMU) on.
+SYSEMU is a performance-patch introduced by Laurent Vivier. It changes
+behaviour of ptrace() and helps reducing host context switch rate.
+To make it working, you need a kernel patch for your host, too.
+See http://perso.wanadoo.fr/laurent.vivier/UML/ for further information.
