If manual inspection fails you, try building a nommu or XIP kernel.

For crying out loud, you're moving the definition of PHYS_OFFSET to be
_inside_ a #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ .. #endif section.  That's fscking
obvious if you bother to read your own patch, because you move the
definition to just _before_ some C code, and the assembler won't
parse C code.
