You can simply return pt_bit_pos:
static inline unsigned int get_pagetable_bit_pos(unsigned long features)
and return a negative value on error.
Also, the only duplication this is saving is visual - that function will
get inlined at the call sites.
Also, I'd love to separate the compressed kernel headers from the
kernel proper ones but I'm afraid that ship has sailed. But if I could,
that would have to be in a special header that gets included by both
stages...
So I don't mind this but I'd let Brijesh and Tom have a look at it too.
Thx.
