I wonder what the point of compile testing if it needs code to be
#ifdef'd out.

Wouldn't it be better to add something like:

#ifndef CONFIG_ARM
static inline void hook_fault_code(int n, int (*fn)(unsigned long, unsigned int,
						    struct pt_regs *),
				   int sig, int code, const char *name)
{
}
#endif

maybe to a local header that pci-imx6, pci-keystone, pcie-rcar-host
and pci-ixp4xx can all share?
