That's not actually configurable, is it? When is this on or off?

Hmm?
If interrupts are enabled, then you'll get them anyway, and if not, then
this does nothing?

"yet" seems kind of misleading - I mean, it really *won't* be, since
that's basically what UML is, no?
I mean, in principle, nothing actually stops you from building a
linux.so instead of linux binary, and having main() renamed to
linux_main() so the application can start up whenever it needs to, or
something like that?

First, that include does nothing. Second, the comment there says:
/*
* There seems to be no way of detecting this automatically from user
* space, so 64 bit architectures should override this in their
* bitsperlong.h. In particular, an architecture that supports
* both 32 and 64 bit user space must not rely on CONFIG_64BIT
* to decide it, but rather check a compiler provided macro.
*/
So you're doing exactly what it says *not* to?
In fact, that totally makes sense - I mean, this is *uapi* and
applications don't have access to CONFIG_ defines etc.
Do you expose that somehow to LKL users that makes this OK-ish? But it's
still very confusing, and you've not made sure the necessary header is
actually included. IIUC, lkl builds a (shared?) library, so it won't
really work this way?

Same here.

At least do something like cpu_relax()? Although ... you made that do
nothing, so you probably want an arch-specific thing here?
