That is because that usage is wrong based on type. _PAGE_NO_CACHE is not
of type pgprot_t. What you really need there is

tmp = __pgprot(pgprot_val(tmp) | _PAGE_NO_CACHE);

or a better option would be

tmp = pgprot_noncached_wc(tmp);

-aneesh
tmp = pgprot_noncached_wc(tmp);

compiles but  I then run in to the following

Aneesh showed you how to fix that in his reply above.

    return __vmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL, pgprot_noncached_wc(PAGE_KERNEL));

cheers
