Thanks for taking a look. It was added for x86 for patch 13 in this patchset and
there was interest expressed for adding for arm64. If you didn't get the whole
set and want to see let me know and I can send it.

After adding in the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_ALIAS condition to the ifdefs in this
area it looked a little hard to read to me, so I moved debug_pagealloc_enabled
and extern bool _debug_pagealloc_enabled outside to make it easier. I think you
are right, the actual non-extern variable can not be there, but the reference
here gets optimized out in that case.
Just double checked and it builds for both CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=n and
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y for me.
Thanks,
Rick
