Builds just fine for me here, are you _sure_ 5.4.y doesn't work?

5.4.14 got debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() through the backport of
8e57f8acbbd1 ("mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too
early") which you wrote :)

Now if it still needs to be changed, let me know and I will do so.

thanks,
