Can you post that as a separate patch which also removes
pte_offset_map_nested(), please?

Hmm, is this guaranteed to stop the compiler from warning? Assuming the
pte_unmap() call is inlined, I'd expect it to keep complaining. What
compiler are you using?

Also, there are a bunch of other architectures that I would expect to have
this same issue because they defined pte_unmap() exactly the same way.
