Sorry about that, thanks a lot Stephen, your patch will do fine (though
what I'll do is simply delete that BUILD_BUG(), which isn't really
serving any useful purpose).  It certainly has been compiled before
on arm and without CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, but I guess different
compiler versions make different optimizations, so I never noticed I
was unwittingly relying on too sophisticated an optimization there.
