This is intentionally. The whole feature is partly architecture specific.
In this patch, we implement the common part, and in the
983968c39241 ("bpf,x86: add fsession support for x86_64"), we
implement the feature for x86_64.

If the current architecture doesn't implement this feature, the
fsession will not be usable, so this inline code will not be called,
which make sense.

Thanks!
