I was of course, completely wrong about this, that #ifdef doesn't cover the whole of <asm/system.h>.
Some of the stuff outside that ifdef will never work in a userspace app anyway (like wbinvd). Looking at it, is there anything there at all that we should let userspace be seeing, or should that #ifdef cover the whole file ?
