It still fails on arm64. The reason is that I had a __SYSCALL_COMPAT
guard to provide either the 32-bit syscalls or the 64-bit (generic) ones
via asm/unistd.h. With this change:

the guard disappears and I get conflicting entries between unistd32.h
and unistd.h.

The solution is to either keep the __SYSCALL_COMPAT guard in place or
rename all the __NR_* macros in unistd32.h to __NR_compat_* and include
unistd32.h explicitly where needed (kernel-only header anyway). Since
the arm64 kernel would not export 32-bit headers, I would go with the
second solution (tried it already). But you need to re-generate the
arm64 headers again.

BTW, I see the script generated some pretty much empty
uapi/asm/unistd.h. Is it possible to using something like Kbuild and
just add "generic-y += ..." to just point it to the
include/uapi/asm-generic header?
