Ok, good.

I'm not aware of any other missing constants.
Just, having seen the missing syscalls which were presumably accidental, I put forward that someone might wish to audit the other architectures for missing definitions from other arch-specific header files. Not just asm/fcntl.h, but also e.g. asm/termios.h and others. The idea is not specific to the ARM port.
