*sigh* - hmm_devmem_add already only works for device private memory,
so it shouldn't be built if that option is not enabled, but in the
current code it is.  And a few patches later in the series we just
kill it off entirely, and the only real caller of this function
already depends on CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE.  So I'm tempted to just
ignore the strict bisectability requirement here instead of making
things messy by either adding the proper ifdefs in hmm.c or providing
a stub we don't really need.
