Yes. That is the point of COMPILE_TEST - we may compile for other 
architectures (even though in they will never been seen in reality on 
other architectures). For me I find it useful to test compile drivers 
for HW only seen on arm machines from my x86 machine without cross 
compiling.

No, please keep it. So I think you have 2x options:
- Add additional Kconfig dependency on CONFIG_64BIT
- include io-64-nonatomic-hi-lo.h
