if by "pollute the name space" you mean "it'll be defined where it normally
wasnt before", then yes. it's always been in the header, just behind
__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES. i also highlight the fact that existing headers that
are exported to userspace are already using this type, so they're broken most
of the time today.

unless you want a completely new patch that deletes aligned_*64 types and
replaces them with __aligned_*64 types ...
