It looks quite unneeded:

void pgd_dtor(void *pgd, kmem_cache_t *cache, unsigned long unused)
{
unsigned long flags; /* can be called from interrupt context */

if (HAVE_SHARED_KERNEL_PMD) <--- /* PAE */
return;

spin_lock_irqsave(&pgd_lock, flags);
pgd_list_del(pgd);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&pgd_lock, flags);
}

Leaving the dtor conditional saves an indirect function call ;)
