Please put this in a generic header so that this hunk represents the
*default* x86 implementation that is used universally on x86.  Then,
please do

#ifndef CONFIG_MKTME_WHATEVER
#define page_keyid(x) (0)
#endif

There are almost *surely* performance implications from this that affect
anyone with this compile option turned on.  There's now a 64-bit integer
division operation which is used in places like kfree().

That's a show-stopper for me until we've done some pretty comprehensive
performance analysis of this, which means much more than one kernel
compile test on one system.
