Looks like this is just alpha and a certain particular compiler version?
You may get away with adding

void __kmalloc_size_too_large(void)
{
BUG();
}

somewhere if you use the particular compiler version causing trouble.
The compiler will then generate some useless code wasting processor
cycles due to not folding constants but it should(tm) work.
