Also always better to avoid direct numerical such as 5, 7, 4. A config
option with a right name (even with constant values), gives them some
meaning.

Agreed.

Makes sense.

This does not get added back in <pgtable-hwdef.h>, would you please
add one comment, for both CONT_PTE_SHIFT and CONT_PMD_SHIFT in their

Looks good to me and there are no obvious regressions as well.
