Just that latter patches add code btw #if and #else, and that
originaly it was a bigger patch that added the #if code #else
at the same time. Hence why this patch looks like this.

Same reason as above.

My patch only add #if, i am not responsible for previous code
that used #ifdef, i was told to convert to #if and that's what
i am doing.

Regarding fields, yes this is intentional, ODP is an infrastructure
that is private to infiniband and thus needs more fields inside ib
struct. While HMM is intended to be a common infrastructure not only
for ib device but for other kind of devices too.
