[RFC] Making more drivers compile on x86

[RFC] Making more drivers compile on x86

[Matthew Wilcox]

In Chicago, there was a brief discussion about making more drivers
compile on architectures where there was no possible way they could run
(since the relevant hardware does not exist for those platforms).

I have recently needed to compile-test axonram and dcssblk, which rely
on hardware unique to powerpc and s390, respectively.  As promised in
the discussion, here is the patch I use to do that.  Since it was for
my own purposes, I didn't do anything fancy like wrap the faked parts
in #ifdef COMPILE_TEST.

Hopefully this will be useful grist for the mill.  Looking the patch
over, if I were proposing something to be merged, I think I'd make much
more use of prototypes, and less of macros.  It would probably also make
sense to put extmem in asm-generic, rather than replicate it for each
architecture that wants to have a more "full" compile test.
