OK, thanks. And sorry for the subject lost 'a', firstly.  And it is
related with UAPI,  so it is really important enough to let related
maintainer to notice about it.

I guess, only the related maintainer know whether can remove these
macros out of "include/uapi/asm/ptrace.h" (although in current upstream
kernel source, they are really not used).

It is abnormal in uapi headers for same values with different macros
switched by "__KERNEL__", but if we have to remain them still in uapi,
we have to use "__KERNEL__ && __linux__" to carm down kernel and user.


Thanks.
