Come on. We have enough functions in the kernel which are only available
under a certain config option and if you (ab)use them elsewhere then the
build fails. So what?
The #ifdef documents the limited scope and intended use clearly. If
something else really needs that function, then removing the #ifdef
shouldn't be rocket science either.
