This has _nothing_ to do with asm-generic, sorry.  Please don't confuse
the issue.

But when I choose allmodconfig, then "COMPILE_TEST=y". this may allow a
module to compile under the architectures which no related HW support.

When cause compiling issue (HW not support), it is not module's issue,
we can not 'fix' module by force, and it is not architecture's issue,
either.

So we have to look for who has duty for this issue. At least now, it
seems only 'asm-generic' can be qualified to play this unlucky role.

You seem to not understand what asm-generic is, or does, or I still do
not understand what you are proposing.

Please send a patch showing what you are trying to do here, so that we
can properly understand.
