You are now include a <linux/*.h> from several asm files
(
 arch/arm64/include/asm/stat.h   
 arch/s390/include/asm/elf.h     
 arch/x86/include/asm/ftrace.h   
 arch/x86/include/asm/sys_ia32.h 
)
It works, and it is done in many places, but it looks somewhat weird.
Would it make sense to have an asm-generic/compate-time.h instead? Asking for
opinions here.

some comments from the s390 perspective:

Can you move that into the other includes (where all the other <linux/*> includes are.
