Ah, I now understand, so you are asking if we can have
that kfree(map->frames); in the place *Option 2* I marked above.
Unfortunately no: map->frames is allocated before we try to
allocate DMA memory, e.g. before dma_vaddr is set:
[...]
         add->frames = kcalloc(count, sizeof(add->frames[0]),
                       GFP_KERNEL);
         if (!add->frames)
             goto err;

[...]
         if (gnttab_dma_alloc_pages(&args))
             goto err;

         add->dma_vaddr = args.vaddr;
[...]
err:
     gntdev_free_map(add);

So, it is possible to enter gntdev_free_map with
frames != NULL and dma_vaddr == NULL. Option 1 above cannot be used
as map->frames is needed for gnttab_dma_free_pages(&args);
and Option 2 cannot be used as frames != NULL and dma_vaddr == NULL.
Thus, I think that unfortunately we need that #ifdef.
Option 3 below can also be considered, but that seems to be not good
as we free resources in different places which looks inconsistent.

Sorry if I'm still missing your point.

So, you mean I need:
#ifdef CONFIG_X86
mfn = pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(map->pages[i]));
#else
mfn = __pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(map->pages[i]));
#endif
