Subject: [PATCH] Unifying headers for AArch64 and ARM

Hi,
This patch is an attempt to unify the kernel header files for AArch64 and ARM. We have developed similar patch for glibc, which unifies the headers in sysdeps. We plan to post that separately to libc-alpha.

This developed patch is similar to something that X86 does with the macros (__x86_64__) and (__ILP32__).

We have noticed some activity in this area in recent times, Linux patches by Yury Norov:
[07/20] arm64:uapi: set __BITS_PER_LONG correctly for ILP32 and LP64 https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9599053/
