Boot-tested under QEMU for Rust x86_64, arm64 and riscv64; built-tested
for loongarch64:

Tested-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

For UML, I am seeing:

    In file included from kernel/fork.c:108:

We probably need at least:

  aa7387e79a5c ("unwind_user/x86: Fix arch=um build")

Or perhaps the split of the guards added later.
