Maybe we use different gcc versions.
Please try following patch.

From: Wang Chen <wangchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] use __fix_to_virt(), because we are sure it's safe

Commit:8827247ffcc9e880cbe4705655065cf011265157 used a variable(which would be
optimized to constant) as fix_to_virt()'s parameter.
It's depended on gcc's optimization and maybe failed on old gcc.

We can use __fix_to_vir() insteadly, because we know it's safe and don't need
link time error reporting.
