First of all this is reinventing infra that's already available as the "parse_r" helper (check out include/asm/tlb.h in v6.4), but the only usage of the helper has just been removed, so it's probably a signal saying this practice may not last for long -- people are no longer in a situation like back in the MIPS era when toolchain support are not guaranteed (or even allowed upstream).

So we can just probe for support and just use proper mnemonics and automatically get support soon, because we can expect most of them to pick up upstream changes very quickly. That's to say, if we have something like:

No, I do not think so. It is a bad idea, by this way kvm module will be disabled until there is proper gcc version.
The popular gcc12/gcc13 does not support AS_HAS_LVZ_EXTENSION, kvm modules will be disabled with general gcc, may be useful for future gcc. what is detailed date for future gcc?
The existing patch can work on all gcc version. If the piece of code does not support generic gcc, why we post the patch now? It is just post a bunch of usefulness code with your method.
