This is a nice cleanup.  I merged the change into my patch against
v3.5.4 for linux-stable.

Had to remove the kvm_para.h hunk because I hit this issue:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/13/226
Assume this is now fixed.

I also noticed that your cleanup  doesn't remove arch/parisc/include/ 
asm/compat_rt_sigframe.h.
Not exactly an asm-generic issue, but I believe the header is unused.
