git grep tells me:
    $ git grep -n "_WAKEUP\b" arch/x86
    arch/x86/boot/video-bios.c:51:#ifndef _WAKEUP
    arch/x86/boot/video-bios.c:66:#ifdef _WAKEUP
    arch/x86/boot/video-mode.c:169:#ifndef _WAKEUP
    arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.c:27:#ifndef _WAKEUP
    arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.c:29:#else /* _WAKEUP */
    arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.c:31:#endif /* _WAKEUP */
    arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.c:160:#ifndef _WAKEUP
    arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.c:272:#endif /* not _WAKEUP */
    arch/x86/boot/video-vga.c:257:#ifndef _WAKEUP
    arch/x86/boot/video-vga.c:269:#ifndef _WAKEUP

And in that Makefile we also see, a few lines up:
    wakeup-objs     := [...] video-mode.o
    [...]
    wakeup-objs     += video-vga.o
    wakeup-objs     += video-vesa.o
    wakeup-objs     += video-bios.o

So this Makefile line defines a _WAKEUP macro that is, it seems, used
for the build of those four object files. (It's bit more complicated
than that. But I think KBUILD_CFLAGS is explained in Documentation/,
isn't it?)

Hope this helps,
