Small nit.
Can you change the "x" in "0X80" to lower case here to make it
consistent with [1] and other #define in the same file. When building
tools like perf, I see the following warning:

Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/sched.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/sched.h'
diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/sched.h include/uapi/linux/sched.h

Following is the output of
diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/sched.h include/uapi/linux/sched.h
