Is this the only difference?
We already have arch/um, why do you need arch/lib/ then?
My point is, can't you merge your arch/lib into the existing arch/um stuff?

BTW: There was already an idea for having UML as regular library.
See: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/projects.html
"UML as a normal userspace library"
