The file include/linux/linkage.h starts by including include/asm/linkage.h. As asm is a symlink to asm-$(ARCH), if your arch is i386, it includes include/asm-i386/linkage.h. This file defines the fastcall macro, and the FASTCALL macro as well. Then later, the include/linux/linkage.h does: #ifndef FASTCALL #define FASTCALL(x) x #define fastcall #endif So it defines FASTCALL and fastcall to nothing only if it hasn't already been defined. To sum up, FASTCALL and fastcall expand to nothing on all arches, except on i386 where they expand to what's defined in include/asm-i386/linkage.h. This sort of macro trickery is very usual: a generic include file defines a default value, but allows it to be overriden by an architecture-specific include file.
