They're certainly not compiler version dependent (or if they are, your
compiler is broken).  It'll probably be because you're building for
SMP, in which case the affected code is not built:

arch/arm/mm/ioremap.c: In function âunmap_area_sectionsâ:
arch/arm/mm/ioremap.c:86: warning: passing argument 1 of âpmd_offsetâ from incompatible pointer type
arch/arm/mm/ioremap.c: In function âremap_area_sectionsâ:
arch/arm/mm/ioremap.c:136: warning: passing argument 1 of âpmd_offsetâ from incompatible pointer type
arch/arm/mm/ioremap.c: In function âremap_area_supersectionsâ:
arch/arm/mm/ioremap.c:173: warning: passing argument 1 of âpmd_offsetâ from incompatible pointer type

These need to be fixed before I push the pgt branch out into mainline,
otherwise I'm going to get nagged.
