A much better way to do this is probably something like

#ifdef CONFIG_X86

#include <asm/setup.h>

static inline int kbd_defleds(void)
{
	return boot_param.kbd_status & 0x20 ? (1 << VC_NUMLOCK) : 0;
}

#elif defined(CONFIG_PARISC)
static inline int kbd_defleds(void)
{
# if defined(CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL) || defined(CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL_OLD)
	return 1 << VC_NUMLOCK;
# else
	return 0;
# endif
}

#else

static inline int kbd_defleds(void)
{
	return 0;
}

#endif

... then arguably this should be moved into the arch/* directories, in a
header file or by making this a callable function.
