How about something like

if (cyrix_present()) {
#ifdef CONFIG_PCI
if (!check_for_bx()) {
do_cyrix_probe();
...
} else {
printk("Cyrix CPU and Intel BX chip set detected, not
probing for Cyrix problem\n");
#else
printk("Cyrix CPU detected but PCI not configured, can't check
for Intel BX so won't probe for Cyrix problem\n");
#endif

? Users who don't like the warnings can just look at the pretty penguin.
