kernel_map_pages() is static inline function since commit 031bc5743f15
("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable").

But there is old declaration in 'arch/powerpc/include/asm/cacheflush.h'.
Removing it or changing s/kernel_map_pages/__kernel_map_pages/ in this
header file or something can fix this problem?

The architecture which has ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
including PPC should not build mm/debug-pagealloc.o
