$ git grep __always_unused | wc -l

It's elsewhere in the kernel tree. It seems like a good way of both
documenting and silencing compiler warnings. But I'm open to other
suggestions.

> Can we have negative depth? Should it be unsigned?

As per the documentation added in this patch:

 * @pte_hole:	if set, called for each hole at all levels,
 *		depth is -1 if not known, 0:PGD, 1:P4D, 2:PUD, 3:PMD
 *		4:PTE. Any folded depths (where PTRS_PER_P?D is equal
 *		to 1) are skipped.

So it's signed to allow "-1" in the cases where pte_hole is called
without knowing the actual depth. This is used in the function
walk_page_test() because it don't walk the actual page tables, but is
called on a VMA instead. This means that there may not be a single depth
for the range provided.
