i'm not following the 2.5 tree at the moment, so i cant ls linux/arch
:) but i seem to remember a kernel rev announce from linus early on 
in 2.5 with one of the notes being inclusion of uml.

well, uml isnt in 2.4 :)

why bother patching and compiling uml yourself? just get the binary
from the sourceforge page and run it - it'll run on 2.2.15+ and 2.4+
kernel.

(native kernel and uml kernel do not have to be the same at all. i'm
pretty sure.  sure you could run a 2.5 and 2.4 uml on a 2.2 native
kernel)

well...

so, as usual, my memory plays tricks on me. but i'm pretty sure linus 
said he'd include it at some stage. (iirc - which more often than not 
i dont)
