I do not expect developers (or even maintainers) to build for every
architecture/platform  - that is partly what linux-next is for (see
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/linux-next ).  It is good to see you at
least thought about the !PM case.  Can't it be turned off in x86?

I am a bit sensitive about these sort of build errors as I see it happen
way to often that a developer make a typo in the !CONFIG_XXX stubs.
