We should not use any CONFIG switches in uapi headers since
these only work during kernel compilation. They are not defined

compiler here instead.

  Marked as RFC since I didn't test it - I'd appreciate if someone
  could give it a try on a real system.

I think this should be harmless,

I expect it would be, we have done this in at least one other uapi file,
arch/m68k/include/uapi/asm/swab.h.


but I'm not sure we even
need the structure in a uapi header: about half the architectures
define this in a user-visible way, while the others don't.

On csky, powerpc and microblaze, pt_regs is used inside
of the 'struct sigcontext' definition, but I don't think
this was ever the case on m68k.

The other one that is accessed in userspace is 'struct
user_regs_struct', but this one is actually not in the
uapi headers on m68k or x86.

I don't think we need them in the uapi header at all. Trivially moving
those 2 structures into the non-uapi ptrace.h seems to build fine on
most simple setups I tried (systems using uClibc, with applications like
strace). Should we try moving them out?
