But for sparc in 3.16, alpha and microblaze in 3.17 and sh in 4.8.  So 
those need conditional #undefs in their kernel-features.h files.  
(Generically when adding __ASSUME_*, or when later removing such 
__ASSUME_* that should apparently be unconditional based on the minimum 
supported kernel, you need to watch out for such cases of some 
architectures having got a syscall later than others.)
