And after thinking about it for a while a decided to go with dummy
implementations in the #else blocks anyway :)

This is how we usually do it in kernel code, we have one implementation
if a certain Kconfig is set, and a dummy one if the Kconfig is not set.
This way we avoid seeing ifdefs sprinkled all over the code, which makes
it easier when trying to follow the flow of the code.
