Do we really need two different include/linux .h files for this bus
subsystem? Can we merge them both together?

Wait, what? Why are you messing with the dependancies now? And never
do a select if at all possible, do a 'depends on' instead.

And why not UML? What about other arches, why are you now restricting
it? That's an odd change to be doing here in a "move this out of
staging" patch...
