Just introduce the BUILD_BUG_ON somewhere else, no need for a new
function just for this.

Adding the BUILD_BUG_ON() to pmap_map() would be perfectly fine.

Thanks, Roger.

And especially not in an inline function (thus triggering the potential error
perhaps several dozen times in a highly parallel build).

Nevertheless we have build_assertions() functions in a couple of places, so
yes, there are precedents to doing so rather that putting the constructs at
more or less random places.

In addition to earlier comments that were given - this looks like it wants to
be part of another patch (the previous one? a subsequent one?), rather than
being standalone. Such an check makes sense in connection with code actually
leveraging the assumption checked.
