Linux-user and bsd-user code needs lots of arch-specific ifdefs,
so disable the warning.

Do you have some examples of the false positives you want
to suppress here? For new code I would hope that we can
handle host-arch-specifics by having new files (or just
new #defines etc) in linux-user/host/$ARCH/ rather than
inline #ifdeffery in the main files.

thanks

One example from your patch:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-09/msg05650.html

And another from Laurent:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-09/msg06486.html

Every new syscall will comes with "#ifdef TARGET_NR_foo and
defined(__NR_foo)", while host/target combos catch up. Now, most
TARGET_NR_foo's are needed only for unicore32, but the __NR_foo
defines will be needed for a very long time.

Oh, I see; I don't think of the __NR_foo as being "architecture
specific". I think we'd be better off specifically whitelisting
those in checkpatch rather than turning off the whole check
for linux-user.

I'll update my patch against your PR and to check not only for
linux-user dir, but also match __NR_.
