Geert has explained the state of things quite nicely. Please send your patch to
introduce HAVE_xxx. I'm sure maintainers will respond to it as it is the correct
thing to do. But I don't want to add bloat to kernel for a random defconfig
failure which no one will really use for ARC.

If you think u can't/won't do it - let me know and I'll send the patches instead.
