No, that's really hackish. HAVE_ARCH_FB_UNMAPPED_AREA means that the 
architecture provides the function. The generic version should not be provided 
when that macro is defined.

Please try to see if you can't share the implementation with at least 
blackfin, and possibly sparc. If sparc requires its own version, you need a 
different mechanism to decide whether to provide the generic one.
