Not specficially ARM related, but more context tracking related since kernel/context_tracking.c pulls in kvm_host.h, which attempts to pull in <asm/kvm*.h> which may not exist on some platforms.
At least for ARM, KVM support was added in v3.9 so this patch can probably be dropped since the non-KVM builds on ARM now work. But any platform without the <asm/kvm*.h> will still be broken when trying to build the context tracker.
