COMPILE_TEST is none-architecture specific, but UML is. So in generic
include folder, if we're focusing on choosing whether COMPILE_TEST or
UML, for me, I will choose COMPILE_TEST.

If we're not only focusing on COMPILE_TEST, for me, if something only
depend on one architecture, I'd like to put them under "arch/*/" folder.

Especially, after that, we can remove all HAS_IOMEM and NO_IOMEM, nobody
has to think of them again. :-)
