[PATCH 09/14] ARM: allow compile-testing without machine record

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

A lot of randconfig builds end up not selecting any machine type at
all. This is generally fine for the purpose of compile testing, but
of course it means that the kernel is not usable on actual hardware,
and it causes a warning about this fact.

As most of the build bots now force-enable CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST for
randconfig builds, use that as a guard to control whether we warn
on this type of broken configuration.

We could do the same for the missing-cpu-type warning, but those
configurations fail to build much earlier.
