Redundant sentence.

Ditto.

If I'm purely a user, I'm left wondering how to determine what to
specify. Do you have a guidance text somewhere you can point to from
here?

Do that initialization at the top where you declare kbuf and get rid of
the #else branch.

This ugly ifdeffery is still here. Why don't you have stubs for the
!defined() cases in the header so that you can drop those here?

That's it.

Oh wow, this is just nuts. Why does it have to pass in a pointer to
pointer which you have to carefully check twice? And why is it a void
**?
And why are those called arch_ if all I see is the x86 variants? Are
there gonna be other arches? And even if, why can't the other arches do
kmap_local_page() too?

Please sort function local variables declaration in a reverse christmas

^^^^^^^^
this thing is done with pr_fmt(). Grep the tree for examples.

The three lines above reading ksegment need to be here, where the test
is done.
