What I meant is it'll be nice to keep the pattern of using:

#ifndef XXX
#define XXX ...
#endif

Rather than:

#if defined(YYY) && !defined(XXX)
#define XXX ...
#endif

The reason is it is not as obvious as previous one, and we can still miss
some defines depending on whether YYY was there.

The current patch also didn't follow the rule where "if pxx_leaf is
defined, we should define the macro" rule.  Then we introduce yet another
rule for defining these.

In short, what I thought as "the other way round" is as simple as something
like:

 #define pud_populate(mm, pmd, pte)             do { } while (0)
===8<===

When used as a macro we don't need to touch linux/pgtable.h.  Would that
look nicer?

Thanks,
