The problem has always been present, only now did randconfig find it.
The compile breaks because PAGE_SHARED is not defined for s390. The
equivalent define for s390 is PAGE_RW. The problem has not shown up so
far because all drivers who use the remap_pfn_range call with
PAGE_SHARED has dependencies not available on s390, e.g. CONFIG_PCI.

To fix this I see are two options: 1) add a PAGE_SHARED define to
arch/s390/include/asm/pgtable.h, 2) make comedi depend on !S390.
