You don't illustrate how it would work with what's there in current
kernels, so I'm having to guess.
With the above coming before the asm-generic/gpio.h include, and this
following the include:
/* The trivial gpiolib dispatchers */
#define gpio_get_value __gpio_get_value
#define gpio_set_value __gpio_set_value
#define gpio_cansleep __gpio_cansleep
this is asking for multiple definition warnings from the preprocessor -
and wrapping these with yet more ifdefs doesn't solve the problem.
Also bear in mind that we're trying to reduce the amount of code in the
mach/gpio.h header files at the moment, so I'd want to avoid adding stuff
to them.
