ohhh, I think I may have inadvertently started this problem! Via a few
commits such as:

     a5c6bc590094 ("selftests/mm: remove local __NR_* definitions")

, which did things like this:

-#include <unistd.h>
+#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>

So it seems that it should have been:

-#include <unistd.h>
+#include <asm/unistd.h>

...and each arch's unistd.h needs to be checked to ensure that it is
up to date with all the symbols that kselftests need.
