I think it doesn't matter, because uml is x86 only (i.e. uml only supports
x86 currently). And that's how uml works currently. I described the specific
header file to be included in the commit log just to make the changes easier
to review.

PS. The header is included via below search path set in arch/um/Makefile:

HEADER_ARCH     := $(SUBARCH)

ifneq ($(filter $(SUBARCH),x86 x86_64 i386),)
        HEADER_ARCH := x86 
endif
.....
HOST_DIR := arch/$(HEADER_ARCH)
.....
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/$(HOST_DIR)/include \
                   -I$(srctree)/$(HOST_DIR)/include/uapi \
                   -I$(objtree)/$(HOST_DIR)/include/generated \
                   -I$(objtree)/$(HOST_DIR)/include/generated/uapi
