Is this a new policy?  Modules in the kernel are not built unless you want 
them.  Even in arch/powerpc/platforms, only the specific platform file I'm 
targeting is built.  So I don't really understand why you claim it's normal 
for platform-specific files to be built, regardless of the actual platform.

And frankly, I don't like this "policy".  Build bugs for 4xx should not 
interfere in my 83xx development.  I can't build any kernels now because of 
this bug!
