It is always better to have code that builds independant of config 
options. I helps with build converage, you don't have to build thousands 
of defconfigs in order to cover all options.

See 
https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-style.html#conditional-compilation

For me, using "unsigned long" is more explicit than u64 when it 
represents the value of a pointer.
