I don't think this all is needed. You can put asi.h with stubs used outside
of arch/x86 in include/linux and save you the hassle of updating every
architecture.

sparc already has include/asm/asi.h, this will break the build

If you expect other architectures might implement ASI the config would better
fit into init/Kconfig or mm/Kconfig and in arch/x86/Kconfig will define
ARCH_HAS_MITIGATION_ADDRESS_SPACE_ISOLATION.

IMHO it should be include/linux/asi.h, with something like

#infdef __LINUX_ASI_H
#define __LINUX_ASI_H

#ifdef CONFIG_MITIGATION_ADDRESS_SPACE_ISOLATION

#include <asm/asi.h>

#else /* CONFIG_MITIGATION_ADDRESS_SPACE_ISOLATION */

/* stubs for functions used outside arch/ */

#endif /* CONFIG_MITIGATION_ADDRESS_SPACE_ISOLATION */

#endif /* __LINUX_ASI_H */
