For clarification, is it better to mention
that this is a preparation for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUGGING ?

Is this #ifdef  necessary?

It is harmless to declaring unused stuff.

Hmm, this code looks a bit ugly...

Does the following one liner work with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUGGING ?


diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/head64.c b/arch/x86/kernel/head64.c
