There is no need to ifdef out externs with conditional implementations,
or inlines using them.

Overly long line.

This looks completely bogus to any casual read, so please document why
it makes sense.  And no, a magic, unexplained ddp in the name does not
count as explanation at all.  Please think about a more useful name.

Can this ever write to user page?  If yes it needs a flush_dcache_page.

Last but not least: kmap_atomic is deprecated except for the very
rate use case where it is actually called from atomic context.  Please
use kmap_local_page instead.

What is the point of this stub?  To me it looks extremely dangerous.
