At this moment, I would suggest we should keep this "ifdef". Otherwise, hugetlb_cma_reserve() won't be really useful.
For example, while setting PAGE size to 64KB. I got this error in hugetlb_cma_reserve():
hugetlb_cma: cma area should be at least 4194304 MiB
This is absolutely unreasonable.
Supporting hugetlb_cma_reserve() for page sizes other than 4k is a different issue.
It might be addressed in a separate patch later.
