Obviously, this does nothing for the:

include/asm-generic/io.h:804:29: error: redefinition of 'virt_to_bus'
include/asm-generic/io.h:809:21: error: redefinition of 'bus_to_virt'

errors which are also reported in Olof's build system.

Given how close we are to the merge window, I'd suggest this stuff gets
reverted so that it can have a better period of testing, rather than
stuffing it into -next at such a critical time.
