As Andreas pointed out this is not safe as this is a uapi header.

I'd also rather leave that as it is.

There's a slim chance it could break some code that already has either
of those defined.

If you need them both defined to make other code work in the kernel
that's fine, in the kernel header we can do:

// Ensure these are always defined inside the kernel to avoid #ifdefs
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
#define PT_MQ	39
#else
#define PT_SOFTE 39
#endif

Pretty sure that will cause breakage. The offset is ABI.
