Subject: AW: [RFC v3 04/17] arch_prctl.2: SYNOPSIS: Remove unused includes

I have learned the other way around:
#include <sys/prctl.h>
Is a general system header to use that may include
the asm/prctrl.h what should never be included by
userspace programms.

AFAICS, there's no reason to include that.
All of the macros that this function uses
are already defined in the other headers.
