As I said above, you use is_compat_task() in asm/elf.h for example
without including asm/compat.h. At some point, you may get a build error
in some unrelated C file. You could wait until it happens and then sort
it out (by either including asm/compat.h in asm/elf.h or creating a new
header file). My preference is to prevent such build errors early.
