Argh, fwiw, I tested on x86 and arm64. :/ Given it already landed in Linus'
tree, could you send me the below as an official patch and I'll take it via
bpf? I think the below is minimal enough, and should then hopefully be the
last remaining fallout on this uapi issue. I think it's fine to do it this
way. The other option would be to pull in ptrace.h for all the others as well
and map it similarly as with bpf_perf_event.h, but that gets out of hand very
quickly (plus we could not have a default fallback include since it would
otherwise be recursive). Anyway, could you add a comment over the include
below stating that this is necessary to include this way? Just to make sure
it doesn't accidentally get changed back until we have a proper framework
in tools/ for dealing with asm includes.

Thanks a lot,
Daniel
