I'm not sure I'd break cross-arch compat here, but whatever.  I guess it
depends how deeply the =0 stuff is ingrained in the at91 codebase

I'd suggest creating an ARCH_HAVE_GPIO_VALID (darn, long name) or
something; define it before #include <asm-generic/gpio.h> and #ifdef
protect the offending declaration in that header.
