why ? That isn't even defined anywhere. Take a look at
<linux/compiler-gcc.h>

did you try to search for a definition of __maybe_used ? It doesn't
exist, try:

$ git grep -e __maybe_used include/

on a git kernel tree. Besides, if we had a __maybe_used flag, it
wouldn't survive very long as semantically they would be essentially the
same.
