Why is this patchset always so hard to compile :(

arm allnoconfig:
In file included from kernel/memremap.c:17:
include/linux/pfn_t.h:107: error: 'pud_mkdevmap' declared as function returning an array
because it expands to
pgd_t pud_mkdevmap(pgd_t pud);
and
typedef unsigned long pgd_t[2];
Also the patch provides no implementation of pud_mkdevmap() so it's
obviously going to break bisection.
