Our trend is to move away from arch specific Kconfig symbols and __ARCH_HAS_*
macros towards just defining whatever you need in the architecture as an
override for the generic definition.

Just provide your own unistd.h that does

#define cond_syscall(x) asm(".weak\t." #x "\n\t.set\t." #x ",.sys_ni_syscall")
#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>

BTW, are you planning to submit arch/metag for inclusion? I've looked at
the code recently and it appears that you are on the right track overall,
and it shouldn't be too hard to get to the same quality level as
arch/openrisc.
