The arch header directories "include/asm-*" were moved long ago.
Now we should check the existence of arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild
to see if an architecture supports the headers installation.
(Actually, "um" is the only architecture that does not have it.)

So please forgive me if I seem overly difficult and fussy, but... while
I'm all for fancy shell one-liners, wouldn't it be more straightforward,
in this case, to simply say in the documentation that all architectures
other than um have support?
Thanks,
