I tried as adviced but when not defined, error happens on archectures such
as arm64. Actually the function generic_access_phys calls a lot of functions
that become undefined if we compile it with CONFIG_HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT disabled.
The archectures that support CONFIG_HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT are mips, x86, sh, arc,
s390, loongarch and powerpc.
So we may just define the function with static inline and add IS_ENABLED
condition branch in function __access_remote_vm in mm/memory.c. The executing
path breaks if CONFIG_HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT is disabled, and never goes into the
static no-op function.
In short, the static inline no-op function would never be executed, the only
difference is that there would be a lot of function code in compiled target.
Thanks,
Wenhu
