Hold your horses there.  Remember:

+#ifdef CONFIG_X86_SHADOW_STACK
+# define VM_SHADOW_STACK       VM_HIGH_ARCH_5
+#else
+# define VM_SHADOW_STACK       VM_NONE
+#endif

Plus:

#define VM_NONE         0x00000000

That means the arch-generic version, when CONFIG_X86_SHADOW_STACK is off
compiles down to:

bool is_shadow_stack_mapping(vm_flags_t vm_flags)
{
	return vm_flags & 0x00000000;
}

I _suspect_ the compiler *might* compile that down to the same thing as:

	return false;

So, why not just have one version, no additional #ifdefs, and be done
with it?  Heck, why have the helper in the first place?  Just check
VM_SHADOW_STACK directly.
