#ifdefs have to be avoided as much as possible, see below

Yeah but it has been bit difficult to avoid all these $ifdef because of the
availability (or lack of it) for all these pgtable helpers in various config
combinations on all platforms.

As far as I can see these pgtable helpers should exist everywhere at least via asm-generic/ files.

Can you spot a particular config which fails ?

+#if !defined(__PAGETABLE_PUD_FOLDED) && !defined(__ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK)

The same can be done here.

IIRC not only the page table helpers but there are data types (pxx_t) which
were not present on various configs and these wrappers help prevent build
failures. Any ways will try and see if this can be improved further. But
meanwhile if you have some suggestions, please do let me know.

pgt_t and pmd_t are everywhere I guess.
then pud_t and p4d_t have fallbacks in asm-generic files.

So it shouldn't be an issue. Maybe if a couple of arches miss them, the best would be to fix the arches, since that's the purpose of your testsuite isn't it ?
