Please make this use the real CONFIG_UID16_SYSCALLS instead of using a
magic __UID16 thing that is s390x-specific. Then you make everybody who
currently uses CONFIG_UID16 do both CONFIG_UID16 and
CONFIG_UID16_SYSCALLS.

We don't want magic config options like __UID16 that aren't exposed as
config options and make people go "Huh?!".
