Ok, as others have rightly pointed out, this wasn't the most helpful
review comment, sorry about that.

In Linux, we don't put ifdefs in .c files, we put them in .h files.  See
many examples of this all over the place.  That's my main complaints the
past two times of this patch.

But, for this, I would question why you even want / need to do this in
the drivers/base/core/ file in the first place.  Shouldn't it be in some
arch or cpu specific file instead that already handles the cpu files?

thanks,
