FYI, this breaks the UML build:

  CC      arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o
arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.c:49:1: error: unknown type name ‘sys_call_ptr_t’
 const sys_call_ptr_t sys_call_table[] ____cacheline_aligned = {

integer from pointer without a cast [enabled by default]
  [0 ... __NR_syscall_max] = &sys_ni_syscall,
  ^
arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.c:54:2: warning: (near initialization

arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.c:54:2: error: initializer element is

Andy, I suspect UML's syscall.h needs the sys_call_ptr_t type too?
