Can you please stop mixing arch and proc code? There is no point in
enabling this on x86 right away.

Why is this switchable? x86 selects it if PROC_FS is enabled and all other
architectures are absolutely not interested in this.

Which contains zero information about this file when only this patch is
applied.

That include is required because it does NOT contain anything useful for
this, right?

What exactly is the point of this macro mess? If an architecture selects
CONFIG_PROC_PID_ARCH_STATUS then it has to provide proc_task_arch_status()
and the prototype should be in include/linux/proc_fs.h.
