Ok, AFAICT UML is sucking in the includes of the sub-architecture the
UML "guest" is running on. See below¹ for the whole gcc string make
executes. Among the switches is

"-I/home/boris/kernel/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include"

so there will be no untangling today. Instead, we could do another
bandaid which is confined to UML include space only and redirect
arch_hweight.h includes to the generic ones. Check this out, it seems to
work here:

Subject: [PATCH] um, hweight: Fix UML boot crash

Obviously UML cannot stomach callee reg-saving trickery
introduced with d61931d89be506372d01a90d1755f6d0a9fafe2d
(x86: Add optimized popcnt variants) and oopses during boot:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127522065202435&w=2

Redirect arch_hweight.h include from the x86 portion to the generic
arch_hweight.h which is a fallback to the software hweight routines.
