Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed (const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments without warnings. Move the virt_to_pfn() and related functions below the declaration of __pa() so it compiles. For symmetry do the same with pfn_to_kaddr(). As the file is included right into the linker file, we need to surround the functions with ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ so we don't cause compilation errors. The conversion moreover exposes the fact that pmd_page_vaddr() was returning an unsigned long rather than a const void * as could be expected, so all the sites defining pmd_page_vaddr() had to be augmented as well. Finally the KVM code in book3s_64_mmu_hv.c was passing an unsigned int to virt_to_phys() so fix that up with a cast so the result compiles.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
