This file already used #error for that.  The purpose of the commit is to
specially break this for lint only.

I would prefer the file to be correctly ifdefed and fall back to extern
functions in cases that can't be implemented inline, much like
<machine/cpufunc.h>.  Then it could be compiled by any C compiler.
The kernel just wouldn't link unless the extern functions were actually
implemented somewhere, and might run much slower if they were implemented.
