How about just putting it in "gid16.c" and then adding a CONFIG_GID16 config variable. Then architectures that want it (pretty much all, no?) can then obviously just do the
config GID16 bool default y
in their Kconfig files and be happy. Add the obvious
obj-$(CONFIG_GID16) += gid16.o
to the kernel makefile and you're done. Looks surgically clean, and follows existing practice wrt uid16.
Ok?
