(a) does it makes sense to have arch CONFIG_* in linux/*.h?  It could
    instead go in arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c, where we have the other
    tests similar to this for GCC.

(b) do we get far enough that the #error will be generated before the
    reported assembler error happens?  IOW, would the assembler error
    mask this #error?

I think it needs confirmation that a #error for this problem results
in the desired behaviour.
