Unfortunately not. Just booting on ARAnyM gives:

Are you sure you can do this, i.e. that nothing else relies on the
alignment to (at least) 4 bytes?
There is another definition of rb_parent(). If I make a similar change there:
--- a/include/linux/rbtree.h
+++ b/include/linux/rbtree.h
@@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ struct rb_root {
struct rb_node *rb_node;
};
-#define rb_parent(r) ((struct rb_node *)((r)->__rb_parent_color & ~3))
+#define rb_parent(r) ((struct rb_node *)((r)->__rb_parent_color & ~1))
#define RB_ROOT (struct rb_root) { NULL, }
#define rb_entry(ptr, type, member) container_of(ptr, type, member)
the system boots on ARAnyM, but I prefer to be a bit cautious...
