The latter is not an option because 32-bit has no definition for
GDT_ENTRY_KERNEL32_CS.

Personally, I prefer having only a single function declaration.
Alternatively, we could move this code to a separate file and only
include it in the build on 64-bit. That would allow the use of
IS_ENABLED() at the call site, as the calls would just disappear from
the object file on 32-bit builds.
