With CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y, PTRS_PER_P4D is a varaible, so it won't compile.
With CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=n, PTRS_PER_P4D is 1, so it's broken.

And I didn't want to mixin p4d here: it's actually top-level page table
in 4-level paging mode.

I guess we can do something like:

#define l4_index(x) (((x) >> P4D_SIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PGD-1))

But to me it's more confusing than couple numbers.
