Only in passing. The header files you indicated are marked as being exported
to userspace in Kbuild - therefore they get disintegrated around __KERNEL__
conditionals just like all the other UAPI-relevant headers.

It builds perf for me. No idea if perf works, I've never used it. I waved a
branch including the patch on top of all my perf patches towards Arnaldo and
others, but I don't know if they've tried it.

I've also checked that x86_64 allyesconfig and i386 allmodconfig build and
that an x86_64 kernel built with my test machine's usual config builds and
boots.

So, no known problems.
