All users in the kernel use "select", so i don't think so. An
interesting use that adds explicit dependencies on architectures can be
seen here [1], in the generic code. I've proposed a patch [2] that does
a similar thing for mc-bus. I think it's a good approach as it keeps
things under control by explicitly specifying the architectures on which
the driver was compile-tested.
