virt_to_bus and bus_to_virt are old interfaces that have been deprecated for, oh, at least 5 years now, and can't be implemented sanely on machines with an IOMMU - which includes all 64-bit powerpc machines.
Unless someone pops up and volunteers to fix those old drivers, which is unlikely, the only solution is to fix the Kconfig files to prevent them from being selected on platforms that don't have virt_to_bus and bus_to_virt.
