The common infrastructure shared by two mechanisms is PMD swap entry. But I didn't find there are many places where the common infrastructure is used. So I think it may be over-engineering to introduce a new config symbol but use it for so few times.

Unfortunately, I think it is not a easy task to wrap all C code via #ifdef in header files. And it may be over-engineering to wrap them all. I guess this is why there are still some #ifdef in C files.
