You still need to check at least for __arch64__ in asm/unistd.h in order
to pick which header to include, right? Since the
__32bit_syscall_numbers__ check was already in the public header
file, it may also be possible that there is some user space application
that sets this in order to get the 32-bit definitions. This might e.g.
be needed for strace.
