This sounds like a different problem which was already resolved in
mainline by commit c011d23ba046 ("kvm: fix compilation on aarch64")
which is present in v5.2-rc1. The issue I'm trying to address is link
time failure (unresolved reference to memremap()/memunmap()) when
CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM is disabled (in our case it affects a special
minimalistic s390x config for zfcpdump).
