So, I tentatively applied this set after applying the patch for
<asm/sysreg.h>, and its all now out in tmp.perf/core in my git tree,
please check.

I'm doing the usual set of container build tests, but any additional
checking, including on the committer note I added to the first patch in
this series, claryfing it is not really a "sync" with the kernel
headers, is more than welcome.
