the exports, nope.

I think that's weird, defining something far away from where it's used
will only make it harder to read, pgtable.h is not included in this
file, and there are other #ifdef CONFIG_ARM_LPAE in that file.

Here's the fix from above:

diff --git a/arch/arm/mm/mmu.c b/arch/arm/mm/mmu.c
index 087d949..46ca62b 100644
--- a/arch/arm/mm/mmu.c
+++ b/arch/arm/mm/mmu.c
@@ -63,9 +63,6 @@ pgprot_t pgprot_s2_device;

 struct cachepolicy {
 	const char	policy[16];
