There is nothing userspace can do with this value. In the kernel is
always combined with AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE, which is not exposed to
userspace and also changes from time to time.
Move the symbol to kernel-internal headers.
Meant to be applied through the asm-generic tree.
The default recipient list was huge. I trimmed it to only the
architecture lists.
