No, #ifdef'ery is certainly not an option.
Why?
It's totally ugly and unacceptable way of doing things. It seems also
totally wrong to add support for totally incompatible SMC to this driver
(especially with #ifdef's). Another driver should be written if CF
support is required.
Other option is create some header files and implement and exporting
these
functions from processor specific code. This add files dependencies
and spread
things across sources, FWIW.
I don't think it's feasible as that SMC is just too different.
Besides, AT91RM9200 code turned out to already be registering a platform
device called at91_cf -- driver for which I have located in drivers/pcmcia/,
so apparently they're not interested in True IDE mode support (and have
overgeneralized the name as well :-).
There can be AT91RM9200 boards where is only IDE hardware instead
"full" Compact Flash support.
Atmel publish application note with description how connect HDD to AT91RM9200.
Connection is very similar as for SAM9, the major difference is using GPIO to control
CF ~CSx signals. Here is document:
Horror... Frankly speaking, I don't see why they had to use GPIO and not
the same decoding scheme as on AT91SAM9xxx.

Currently people at at91.com forum did board with HDD. As driver
they use pata_platform with some hacks, which look very similar
as things in this driver, except they use polling and not need irq quirk:

It's not clear why they define IRQ resource not having IRQ.
