I was copying this ifdef from the struct sigaction part in the same file:

#ifndef __KERNEL__
struct sigaction {
        __sighandler_t sa_handler;
        unsigned long sa_flags;
#ifdef SA_RESTORER
        __sigrestore_t sa_restorer;
#endif
        sigset_t sa_mask;               /* mask last for extensibility */
};
#endif

I assumed it had the same problems at some point.
