I find that at _that_ commit, get_kernel_page() is defined in
mm/memory.c which will only be compiled on CONFIG_MMU.
The get_kernel_page*() definitions are later moved to mm/swap.c by
commit 6503ced02700f5f561c8a2a66f5d93117fb230cd

I tried EXPORT_SYMBOL, still the same. So it should be due to related
to CONFIG_MMU which is missing in m32104ut_defconfig.
