Regardless of indenttation, the existing code is fairly hard to read,
and I reckon it'd be better to split up, e.g.

| /* Number of VA bits resolved by a single translation table level */
| #define PTDESC_TABLE_SHIFT	(PAGE_SHIFT - PTDESC_ORDER)
| 
| #define __EARLY_LEVEL(lvl, vstart, vend, add) \
| 	EARLY_ENTRIES(vstart, vend, SWAPPER_BLOCK_SHIFT + lvl * PTDESC_TABLE_SHIFT, add)
| 
| #define EARLY_LEVEL(lvl, lvls, vstart, vend, add) \
| 	((lvls) > (lvl) ? __EARLY_LEVEL(lvl, vstart, vend, add) : 0)

... and ignoring the use of _SHIFT vs _ORDER, I think that structure is
far more legible.

With that, we can fold EARLY_ENTRIES() and __EARLY_LEVEL() together and
move the 'add' into EARLY_LEVEL(), e.g.

| /* Number of VA bits resolved by a single translation table level */
| #define PTDESC_TABLE_SHIFT	(PAGE_SHIFT - PTDESC_ORDER)
| 
| #define EARLY_ENTRIES(lvl, vstart, vend) \
| 	(SPAN_NR_ENTRIES(vstart, vend, SWAPPER_BLOCK_SHIFT + lvl * PTDESC_TABLE_SHIFT))
| 
| #define EARLY_LEVEL(lvl, lvls, vstart, vend, add) \
| 	((lvls) > (lvl) ? EARLY_ENTRIES(lvl, vstart, vend) + (add) : 0)

... which I think makes the 'add' a bit easier to understand too.

Mark.
