But the macro definitions are enclosed by '#ifdef CONFIG_MMU'. I have
!CONFIG_MMU build test, which shows similar errors, even after Lorenzo's
suggestion is applied. Should we move the definitions out of the '#ifdef
CONFIG_MMU', or implement another unmap_all_init() for !CONFIG_MMU case?
I confirmed a simple version of the first option (moving definitions out of
CONFIG_MMU, in addition to including pgtable.h) like below works at least for
my !CONFIG_MMU test.
Thanks,
SJ
