It's a pity that the suggestion I made (which I obviously hadn't even
compile tested...) isn't sufficient, because what I was going for was
a way to annotate that specifically efi_get_fdt() was for architectures
which use a DT (and link libfdt). It's not as nice to indicate that
the other functions also don't apply to x86 (x86 doesn't use them
now, but there's no reason it couldn't). With that in mind, I think I
like your original patch better, but with a tweak to ensure we don't
generate the undefined reference to fdt_check_header(),

diff --git a/lib/efi.c b/lib/efi.c

 }

 static const struct {

That said, I could go either way, since it also makes sense to not
compile code for x86 that it doesn't currently use. So, unless you
need to respin for other reasons,
