In that case, I think it could be rephrased to something like "the
header asm/runtime_instr.h is available for the userspace programs
since Linux 4.15, before that it was located in
arch/s390/include/asm/runtime_instr.h in the kernel's source tree", as
man-pages project (as I understood) tends to reference places in
kernel's source tree if it is deemed useful; it is usually applied to
documentation files, however, although they also have tendency to
migrate over time.
