This is nasty. It means when userfaultfd gets implemented for other arches
someone has to remember to update the logic here, which they won't.

Instead the C program should just do nothing when __NR_userfaultfd is not defined, eg:

#ifdef __NR_userfaultfd

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	...
}

#else

int main(void)
{
	printf("skip: Skipping userfaultfd test\n");
	return 0;
}
#endif


This way when the syscall is implemented for other arches the test will just
start working.

cheers
