Maybe you can avoid the 4/4 patch and preserve clean bisects by renaming
the unused parameter here and elsewhere, and introduce the 'type' local
in this patch.

void kunmap_atomic(void *kvaddr, enum km_type unused)
{
...
unsigned int idx, type;
...
}

That way, patch 3/4 will remove a genuinely unused parameter, and thus
remain compile-able.
