You didn't read what I wrote.  The namespace pollution is just one issue
and handling this would require making the headers for the supported
platforms worse (which by itself is a showstopper).  There is also the
inherit unsafety of the assumptions this is encasing.  There is no
guarantee that these values always match.

If you want to avoid costs then start at the root.  Get those ignorant
kernel arch maintainers to use the same values as the mainstream
architectures.
