The #define __pmem was put at the wrong place, inside a __rcu check. The way it is, if CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER is not defined, it will produce thousands of errors like:
./arch/x86/include/asm/io.h:251:27: error: void declaration ./arch/x86/include/asm/io.h:251:27: error: Expected ; at end of declaration ./arch/x86/include/asm/io.h:251:27: error: got * making sparse pretty much useless, due to the excess of noise. So, move the define out of the sparse RCU pointer check.
