I think you should include the relevant header for __align_u64
etc. here.

Are these really useful for the UAPI header? Is there a situation where
OPEN_HOW_SIZE_LATEST would be different from sizeof (struct open_how)?
The header is not compatible with the assembler anyway, so the numeric
constant does not seem useful.
