You are required to have a specific choice for all relevant config 
options for each arch. This driver is setup such that its available on 
all arches, so you need to explicitly choose not to build it on other 
arches if you don't want to. You could do that by putting:

# CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI2021 is not set

in config-generic. Then it'd get overridden for x86_64 by the =m entry 
in config-x86_64-generic .

Maybe there's a smarter way to do all this than hand editing, I dunno, 
but that's how I do it...
