Indeed. in_ia32_syscall() depends arch/x86 too.
We can add an inline function like;

``` uprobes.h
static inline bool is_uprobe_syscall(int syscall)
{
// arch_is_uprobe_syscall check can be replaced by Kconfig,
// something like CONFIG_ARCH_URETPROBE_SYSCALL.
#ifdef arch_is_uprobe_syscall
return arch_is_uprobe_syscall(syscall)
#else
return false;
#endif
}
```
and
``` arch/x86/include/asm/uprobes.h
#define arch_is_uprobe_syscall(syscall) \
(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_64) && syscall == __NR_uretprobe && !in_ia32_syscall())
```

Hmm, at least we should make it is_uprobe_syscall() in uprobes.h so that
do not pollute the seccomp subsystem with #ifdef.
