Well, in non-x86 code an #ifdef x86 looks ugly as well - but I guess
better than not building.

Not that I know of.

So why not drop the x86-ism and rename it to CONFIG_PLATFORM_SYSFB?
Some platforms configure it, some don't. Then the prototypes could
move into include/linux/sysfb.h or so and would be platform agnostic.
