$ git grep __always_unused | wc -l
191

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.
