Eh, it seems more reasonable to leave it in kernel.h, then figure out
how to get rid of it completely. AFAICT it's only used in one single
place under arch/ (and I can't figure out how that magic value is
supposed to get there in the first place... that arch was thrown out in
2013 and resurrected in 2015, but that particular line doesn't make
sense), and then in some i915 code which might as well define their own
cookie.
