I agree, I am not the best at writing commits (by far). What's the
best way for me to correct that? (the bot seem to have taken it).

It is used in many places in arch/x86, kasan, head64, fault etc..:

I am not sure I understood. Only 64-bit need this header to correctly
get MODULES_END, that's why I added it to pgtable_64.h only. I tried
to add it lower before and ran into multiple header errors.
