I still don't think that Leo's series is correct.

Before that gets applied, someone should explain why arm64 needs
any special treatment at all. A lot of work has gone into making
the syscall table handling consistent across architectures, so
whether we ship a copy of the generated header for perf, we
generate a new copy or we rely on 'make headers_install', should
should really be done the same way across every architecture.
