Ok, so this whole thing is protected by "if (pmd_trans_huge(pmd))"
which is defined to be 0 if !THP. But obviously, gcc is trying to parse
it. So I think we need something like:

#ifndef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
static inline unsigned long pmd_pfn(pmd_t pmd)
{
BUG();
return 0UL;
}
#endif

but that can have its own problem if architectures define pmd_pfn()
when they don't have CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. Which of course, they
can do.
