It doesn't:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/kernel-headers.git;a=commitdiff;h=a9128be8657fa436a2e4379b63853964bb56daf3

What do you need it for? Are you trying to interpret A.OUT core dumps?

Having said that, I'm not sure we _should_ have removed it from the
upstream kernel. Although Fedora no longer builds a.out support,
upstream still supports a.out -- and so should probably continue to
provide <asm/user.h> -- doesn't this define the Linux-specific header on
our a.out core dumps?

Jan, how does gdb cope with a.out core dumps? (or doesn't it?)
