userprogs sometimes need access to UAPI headers. This is currently not possible for Usermode Linux, as UM is only a pseudo architecture built on top of a regular architecture and does not have its own UAPI. Instead use the UAPI headers from the underlying regular architecture.

Can we add some checks to scripts/checkpatch.pl for inappropriate commit subject prefixes?
I really want to see "kconfig:" used in the subject only for changes under scripts/kconfig/.
I wonder if scripts/checkpatch.pl shows a warning if "kconfig:" is used in the subject but nothing under scripts/kconfig/ is changed.
People incorrectly use "kconfig:" prefix for random "Kconfig" file changes. I am fed up with pointing out this silly stuff.
Apparently, this patch is not related to Kconfig at all.
