I think it is just matter of disallowing such construct in places where
compiler expects constant expression.

If accepted, the expression is apparently evaluated in compile time. See
[1].

I've spotted in include/generated/autoconf.h following line:

#define CONFIG_ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE 0xdead000000000000

It corresponds to following kconfig entry:

config ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE
       hex
       default 0 if X86_32
       default 0xdead000000000000 if X86_64

Grepping shows more: grep -r --include=Kconfig -3 -P '^\s*hex' .

Anyway do you really need to handle undefined case? If not, the macro
can stay simple, w/o hacky constructs.
