arm allnoconfig:

./include/asm-generic/memory_model.h:23:19: error: static declaration of 'pfn_valid' follows non-static declaration
   23 | static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)

I thought of doing

+++ a/arch/arm/include/asm/page.h

 #include <asm/memory.h>

_

but I'm seeing a pfn_valid declaration in arch/arc/include/asm/page.h
which might be a problem.

v2, please ;)
