linux-6.1.76, 6.6.15, and 6.7.3 have modified the non-ARCH-specific
pfn_valid() to use __rcu_read_lock/unlock[1] that is marked GPL and
cannot be used here[2][3][4] unless use the open source variant.
...

this should soon happen in sid, too:

linux      | 6.6.15-2           | buildd-unstable                  | source
