Thanks, taken into the tile tree.

I'm a little dubious that AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH should be being defined
in the uapi version of auxvec.h, since I don't see why userspace should
be interested in it, but that does seem to be the current convention.
Ugh, there are even CONFIG_xxx ifdefs in the x86 and sh uapi/asm/auxvec.h ...
Maybe the define could be moved to arch/*/include/asm/elf.h?
