Maybe just leave all entries visible here, and avoid the above #ifdef 
checks.

The #ifdef isn't there just to save a few bytes, though it does do that. 
It's really meant to cause a build failure when I mess up somewhere. But 
I'm happy to change it if you can see a reason to do so (?)

I think the problem with these #ifdef conditionals is that they don't 
express the correct constraints. So, at the end of this series I'd prefer 
to see,

struct nvram_ops {
       ssize_t         (*read)(char *, size_t, loff_t *);
       ssize_t         (*write)(char *, size_t, loff_t *);
       unsigned char   (*read_byte)(int);
       void            (*write_byte)(unsigned char, int);
       ssize_t         (*get_size)(void);
#if defined(CONFIG_PPC)
       long            (*sync)(void);
       int             (*get_partition)(int);
#elif defined(CONFIG_X86) || defined(CONFIG_M68K)
       long            (*set_checksum)(void);
       long            (*initialize)(void);
#endif
};

Is that okay with you?
