Sigh. You should *never* ever even think about writing such code. It only results in 
crap, and in crap duplicated elsewhere as well:

if defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC) || defined(CONFIG_KMEMCHECK)
        /*
         * For CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, identity mapping will use small pages.
         * This will simplify cpa(), which otherwise needs to support splitting
         * large pages into small in interrupt context, etc.
         */
        use_pse = use_gbpages = 0;
#else
        use_pse = cpu_has_pse;
        use_gbpages = direct_gbpages;
#endif

Thanks,

	Ingo
