I understand there's some progress having Clang compile the kernel.
Clang treats __ILP32__ and friends differently than GCC. I believe
ILP32 shows up just about everywhere there are 32-bit ints, longs and
pointers. You might find it on Aarch64 or you might find it on MIPS64
when using Clang.

I think that means this may be a little suspicious:

I kind of felt LLVM was wandering away from the x32 ABI, but the LLVM
devs insisted they were within their purview. Also see
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2015-December/046300.html.

Sorry about the top-post. I just wanted to pick out that one piece.

It seems I made a typo and it needs to be __ILP32__ rather than
__ilp32__ (corrected that locally, will resend once we have resolved
this).

Aside from that, the #if check seems to be correct to me: this
is an x86-specific header, so it won't ever be seen on other
architectures. On x86-32, __x86_64__ isn't set, so we don't care
about whether __ilp32__ is set or not, and on x86-64 (lp64),
__ilp32__ is never set, so we still get the asm-generic header.
