I would be happy to do the same.

I don't know.

Do you mean something like:

drivers/tty/serial/pmac_zilog.h
...
#ifndef MACH_IS_MAC
#define MACH_IS_MAC (0)
#endif
...

drivers/tty/serial/pmac_zilog.c
...
static int __init pmz_console_init(void)
{
        if (!MACH_IS_MAC)
                return -ENODEV;
...

Thanks,
Laurent
