Above was required to be enclosed by below,

 #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__
 #endif

Putting it inside the existing #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ (which encloses
other externs) in asm/memory.h would put it alongside not so related
definitions as compared to the existing location.

And the existing #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ in asm/memory.h is a bit down
that makes the above stand separately,

but the above improvements make the patch simpler.
