This breaks UML build:
  CC      mm/mremap.o
mm/mremap.c: In function ‘move_normal_pmd’:
mm/mremap.c:229:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘set_pmd_at’; did you mean ‘set_pte_at’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  set_pmd_at(mm, new_addr, new_pmd, pmd);
  ^~~~~~~~~~
  set_pte_at
  CC      crypto/rng.o
  CC      fs/direct-io.o
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

To test yourself, just run on a x86 box:
$ make defconfig ARCH=um
$ make linux ARCH=um

Thanks,
