We see this build regression with System/390:

-----8<-----
  /builds/linux/arch/s390/mm/page-states.c: In function 'mark_kernel_pgd':
  /builds/linux/arch/s390/mm/page-states.c:165:45: error: request for member 'val' in something not a structure or union
    165 |         max_addr = (S390_lowcore.kernel_asce.val & _ASCE_TYPE_MASK) >> 2;
        |                                             ^
  make[5]: *** [/builds/linux/scripts/Makefile.build:243: arch/s390/mm/page-states.o] Error 1
----->8-----

That's with Clang 17, Clang nightly, GCC 8 and GCC 13, with allnoconfig, defconfig, and tinyconfig.

Bisection points to:

      s390/cmma: fix initial kernel address space page table walk
      
      commit 16ba44826a04834d3eeeda4b731c2ea3481062b7 upstream.


Reverting makes the build pass.
