The k_compat.h file is mostly obsolete.
As the name implies, that header file had a simplified version of PCI
support as inline functions rather than a separate module.

The simplified version omitted features such as PCI power management.
However the reason I implemented this support remained: some default
machine configurations require this support.

You should track down whatever is setting INLINE_PCISCAN.
