asm/mktme.h is included from asm/page.h. It is functionally identical
other architectures.

I do.

m68k and microblaze have different definitions of the macro depending
on CONFIG_MMU.

On arm64 it depends on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

I don't agree.

asm/mktme.h included from the single header -- asm/page.h -- and has clear
path to linux/mm.h where the default page_to_virt() is defined.

I don't see a reason to move it out of feature-specific header. The
default page_to_virt() is perfectly fine without MKTME. And it will be
obvious on grep.
