Thanks for taking a look.

Yeah, it is more readable. This question is also raised by Oscar.
I pasted the reply to here.

"
Yeah, it's a little complicated. All the magic aims to generate
two enumeration from one MAPPER(xxx, config), one is SECTION_xxx_SHIFT,
another is SECTION_xxx = BIT(SECTION_xxx_SHIFT) if the 'config' is
configured. If we want to add a new flag, like the follow patch, just
one line could do that.

  MAPPER(CANNOT_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP, CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP)

Without those magic, we have to add 4 lines like follows to do the
similar thing.

  #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP
        SECTION_CANNOT_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP_SHIFT,
  #define SECTION_CANNOT_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP BIT(SECTION_CANNOT_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP_SHIFT)
  #endif

I admit it is more clear but not simplified as above approach.
"

Both two approaches are fine to me. I can switch to the following approach
seems you think the following one is better.

Thanks.
