I mean in the kernel arch/x86/include/asm/sigcontext.h is gone (at least in
that
series), we use the UAPI header directly.

Yeah, will do this, plus some comments explaining that this is really just so
that
we can keep the UAPI side compatible with a 'straight user-space copying of the
header files'.
This won't affect the kernel as we won't include asm/sigcontext.h directly.
(And
even if we do, there's no harm done.)
Agreed?
