Sorry for the late reply. This looks overly complicated to me.

IOW, staring at that patch I don't quite like what I am seeing.


Something like the following is *a lot* easier to read than some
MAPPER macro magic. What speaks against it?

/*
 * Section bits use the lower unused bits in the ->section_mem_map
 */
enum {
	SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT_BIT = 0,
	SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP_BIT,
	...
#ifdef ZONE_DEVICE
	SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE_BIT
#endif
}

#define SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT	   (1ULL << SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT_BIT)
...
#ifdef ZONE_DEVICE
#define SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE  (1ULL << SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE_BIT)
#endif /* ZONE_DEVICE */
