I don't think this change is correct, and I'm not sure what the
motivation is. It certainly can't work with !CONFIG_29BIT, and likely
can't work on nommu either (it won't work on J2). Maybe we have
different ideas about the sort of physical address the boot loader is
expected to pass; I would expect it to be something that, when passed
to phys_to_virt, yields an address the kernel can use to access the
memory. This does not necessarily mean it's MMU-mapped memory; it
could be (and in practice will be, I think) an address in the P1
segment obtained by adding PAGE_OFFSET (see asm/page.h).
