Really?  What do we need linux/ptrace.h for?  Because if it's
struct pt_regs for the generated externs, we might as well have
just said
struct pt_regs;
and that would be it.

<digs around a bit>

As the matter of fact, all you need out of those includes is this:

struct pt_regs;
typedef long (*sys_call_ptr_t)(const struct pt_regs *);
extern const sys_call_ptr_t sys_call_table[];
#if defined(CONFIG_X86_32)
#define ia32_sys_call_table sys_call_table
#else
/*
 * These may not exist, but still put the prototypes in so we
 * can use IS_ENABLED().
 */
extern const sys_call_ptr_t ia32_sys_call_table[];
extern const sys_call_ptr_t x32_sys_call_table[];
#endif

That's _it_.  The same goes for syscall_64.c and syscall_x32.c.
Oh, and lose the __visible/asmlinkage junk in there - none of that
stuff is used from asm these days.  See the patch below -
Untested But Should Work(tm):
