I would propose to partly revert the patch with the patch bellow.
Rationale: PMD_SHIFT is not defined in some configurations like nommu
(allnoconfig on ARM).
It blocks valid usecases in common code, like:
if (PageTransHuge(page))
do_something_with(HPAGE_PMD_SIZE);
And requires ugly ifdefs.
I also found BUILD_BUG() useful to trigger bugs earlier for !THP
configurations.
The original patch was proposed as part of THP enabling on PPC. The patch
below requires trivial adjustment for PPC THP patchset. Changes required
for V10 is attached.
