A bit of bisect later, looks like reverting the following commit 
allows the build to proceed. -> note: there is no fail on 
multi_v7_defconfig or omap2plus_defconfig even without the revert.

commit 7c0f6ba682b9c7632072ffbedf8d328c8f3c42ba

     Replace <asm/uaccess.h> with <linux/uaccess.h> globally

     This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

       PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*<asm/uaccess.h>'
       sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include <linux/uaccess.h>!" \
             $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

     to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.
