Actually the above header file is supposed to get included, based on the 
architecture only.

<snip from arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h>
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
# include <asm/uaccess_32.h>
#else
# include <asm/uaccess_64.h>
#endif
<snip from arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h>

<snip from .config>
amit at ubuntu:~/linux-next/linux-next$ grep -w CONFIG_X86_32 .config 
CONFIG_X86_32=y
<snip from .config>

CPU arch on my machine: 
amit at ubuntu:~/linux-next/linux-next$ uname -m
i686

Based on this observation, I think, I do not need to include the uaccess_32.h
in any of those files.
