[PATCH v2 1/4] x86/mm: surround level4_kernel_pgt with #ifdef CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL...#endif

Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

The level4_kernel_pgt is only defined when X86_5LEVEL is enabled. So
surround level4_kernel_pgt with #ifdef CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL...#endif to
make code correct.
For clarification, is it better to mention
that this is a preparation for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUGGING ?

Is this #ifdef  necessary?

It is harmless to declaring unused stuff.

Hmm, this code looks a bit ugly...

Does the following one liner work with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUGGING ?
