I think the way we write those is like this:

#ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT

# ifndef __ASSEMBLY__
# include <asm/paravirt.h>
# endif

#else /* ! CONFIG_PARAVIRT */

# ifndef __ASSEMBLY__
/*
 * Used in the idle loop; sti takes one instruction cycle
 * to complete:
 */
static inline __cpuidle void arch_safe_halt(void)
{
	native_safe_halt();
}

/*
 * Used when interrupts are already enabled or to
 * shutdown the processor:
 */
static inline __cpuidle void halt(void)
{
	native_halt();
}
# endif /* __ASSEMBLY__ */

#endif /* CONFIG_PARAVIRT */

Note the empty space after the '#' of the inner ifdef to show that it is
an inner one.

Also, this header has clearly too many #if*def __ASSEMBLY__ things
sprinkled around. Lemme see if I can get rid of them so that it is at
least a bit readable.
