It works because of the same nasty reason:

$ make arch/x86/boot/compressed/sev.i
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  DESCEND objtool
  INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
  CPP     arch/x86/boot/compressed/sev.i
$ grep align.h arch/x86/boot/compressed/sev.i
# 1 "./include/linux/align.h" 1

The include hell pulls in that linux/ namespace header into the
decompressor. Which it should not to.

So no, please use the open-coded thing. I probably should start
untangling the decompressor slowly and do small sets because otherwise
this'll never get split properly.
