Why didn't you choose to make this something like
    config PGTABLE_LEVELS
	int
	default 3 if PGTABLE_3
	default 4 if PGTABLE_4

... and drop this hunk (ie, keep this choice as it is)? That would make
upgrading to a release that uses PGTABLE_LEVELS do the right thing
automagically, wouldn't it? As currently in the !IA64_PAGE_SIZE_64KB
case people need to reconfigure their "Page Table Levels".
