I think it would be better to do similar to most other functions (like 
map_kernel_page() for instance):

In arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h do:

static inline void __kernel_map_pages(struct page *page, int numpages, 
int enable)
{
	if (radix_enabled())
		radix__kernel_map_pages(...);
	else
		hash__kernel_map_pages(...);
}

Then in arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/radix.h do (or in 
/arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/radix_pgtable.c in you prefer ?):

static inline void radix__kernel_map_pages(struct page *page, int 
numpages, int enable)
{
	pr_warn_once("DEBUG_PAGEALLOC not supported in radix mode\n");
}
