lib/dma-debug.c: In function âcheck_for_stackâ:
lib/dma-debug.c:1170:36: error: implicit declaration of function âtask_stack_vm_areaâ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
struct vm_struct *stack_vm_area = task_stack_vm_area(current);
^
lib/dma-debug.c:1170:36: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make[1]: *** [lib/dma-debug.o] Error 1
make: *** [lib] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Probably reorder pieces from patch 9 to earlier ones...
