Mixing both such that there are 3 or 4 possible combinations just isn't nice to maintain.

Makes sense, which one of these would be preferred instead.

1. Call site is protected with HUGETLB_PAGE and CMA
2. Definition is protected with CMA and HUGETLB_PAGE - in arch/arm64/mm/hugetlb.c
3. Declaration is in arch/arm64/include/asm/hugetlb.h (without any #ifdef)

OR

1. Definition is protected with CMA and HUGETLB_PAGE - in arch/arm64/mm/hugetlb.c
2. Stub definition and declaration with #ifdefs (HUGETLB_PAGE and CMA) in arch/arm64/mm/init.c
3. Call site is without any #ifdef
