Can you explain the desire to make the second argument optional,
rather than having the mandatory arguments first and the optional body
last?  It will mean more lines at each site, but I don't think that's
a bad thing:

STUB_UNLESS(CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT,
void hw_breakpoint_thread_switch(struct task_struct *next));

STUB_UNLESS(CONFIG_CPU_FREQ,
struct cpufreq_policy *cpufreq_cpu_get_raw(unsigned int cpu), return NULL);

or:

STUB_UNLESS(CONFIG_CPU_FREQ,
struct cpufreq_policy *cpufreq_cpu_get_raw(unsigned int cpu),
        return NULL);

Seems to be more readable in terms of the flow.
