There is nothing in the DMA-mapping.txt that applies to the PCI version of the synclink adapter (which does not do DMA to/from system memory).
The ISA version of the synclink adapter does do ISA DMA bus master transfers. After reading DMA-mapping.txt twice it is unclear what changes need to be applied. The documentation seems to imply that ISA devices need to make some pci_xxx calls. I'm not sure how this works when there is no PCI bus.
For now, removing the #error line should work fine for the PCI adapter and probably for the ISA as well.
I will look at this again as time allows.
I usually wait 6-12 months after the new development kernel opens before attempting to sync my drivers to the latest changes. This avoids most of the eat-your-file-system phase, prevents wasting time chasing after a rapidly changing API, and still leaves another 12 months for tweaking.
