What is this useful for? Why do we want it?
What does it account for, just the swapper?

This doesn't account for 16K pages, and it means each call site has to handle the various page sizes directly.
It would be better to simply count PTE/PMD/PUD/PGD, then handle the size conversion at the end when logging.

e.g. here you'd just count PG_LEVEL_PMD, which would work regardless of page size.

This doesn't match reality by the time we start executing the kernel, given we created page tables in head.S.

You could dynamuically determine the sizes here for each field, and not have to have #ifdefs.
That all said, I don't see what this is useful for, and it looks very fragile.
Thanks, Mark.
