Looks like BUILD_BUG is safe. Tested with 83xx/mpc834x_mds_defconfig,
it doesn't break the build.

I think I just missed the implementation. It's easy to implement though
based on local_flush_tlb_page in mm/nohash/tlb.c, so I'll just add it

  void local_flush_tlb_page_psize(struct mm_struct *mm,
  				unsigned long vmaddr, int psize)
  {
  	__local_flush_tlb_page(mm, vmaddr, mmu_get_tsize(psize), 0);
  }
  EXPORT_SYMBOL(local_flush_tlb_page_psize);

This and the above commented parts match the style of the surrounding
implementations. For example,

	static inline void local_flush_tlb_mm(struct mm_struct *mm)
	{
		if (radix_enabled())
			return radix__local_flush_tlb_mm(mm);
		return hash__local_flush_tlb_mm(mm);
	}

I am not going to add code that is inconsistent with the surrounding
code. That just causes confusion later down the line when readers
wonder why this function is special compared to the others. If it needs
to use modern style, then I would be happy to include a patch that
modernises the surrounding code first.

Though why the hash__* functions are empty I'm not sure... If they were
not implemented I would have expected a BUILD_BUG(). If they are
unnecessary due to hash itself, it's odd that they exist (as you point
out for the new one).
