Nope, not at all, don't use #ifdef in .c files.

Again, we have a way to do this, built into sysfs, that can dynamically
know to add or not add, attributes when they are registered with the

Is there some reason you want to create a new way to do this, or just
ignore it by using another forbidden thing (i.e. #ifdefs)?
