Just look at it carefully.  In the past, on processors without HPTE
the code was almost one big no-op (due to conditional tests, etc.) but
somewhere there were a few sublte generic operations (like tlbie) that
were important to (nearly) all processors.  I often took advantage of
that.  The code would compile, no #ifdef necessary, generic functions
called, and in the end "the right thing" would happen :-).
