I'm sorry?  Are you sure?  Here is what fs/proc/stat.c has to say:

#ifndef arch_idle_time
#define arch_idle_time(cpu) 0
#endif
...
		idle = cputime64_add(idle, arch_idle_time(i));


I think what you're actually saying is the #ifdef can be moved to 
somewhere where it can be easily missed.  For this very reason, I'd rather 
be more explicit about it.
