Only a small subset of the architectures
(arm/ia64/microblaze/openrisc/powerpc/sparc/x86)
seem to define DMA_ERROR_CODE, causing everywhere else:

drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.c: In function ‘uio_dmem_genirq_release’:
drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.c:95: error: ‘DMA_ERROR_CODE’ undeclared
(first use in this function)
drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.c:95: error: (Each undeclared identifier
is reported only once
drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.c:95: error: for each function it appears in.)
drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.c: In function ‘uio_dmem_genirq_probe’:
drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.c:238: error: ‘DMA_ERROR_CODE’ undeclared
(first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.o] Error 1
make: *** [drivers/uio/] Error 2

(e.g. http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/7462173/)

Furthermore, none of them define it in <uapi/...>, so DMA_ERROR_CODE is not
part of the userspace API (yet), while it is architecture-specific (some use 0,
others ~0).
