On x86, if you do "make headers", you can adjust the Makefile with
$(KHDR_INCLUDES) to find the syscall defines in the generated headers. But then
you have to remember to run "make headers" before building the selftests. There
was some direction on it from x86 maintainers:

I don't think it's great, but the other options weren't great either.
