Do you have a concrete example of any breakage?

util-linux did not build because glibc was compiled against kernel
headers which did not define __NR_sched_setattr, so glibc did not
provide the SYS_sched_setattr macro.

Rather than deprecating, should the kernel be taking responsibility
for defining SYS_* constants?

Yes, considering Stan's and Zack's comment, this appears to be the only way to address the issue.
