I don't think you can do that. We still need these functions in low
level architecture code at least.
Using __pa/__va doesn't cut it because it won't work on Xen guests
which have different views on bus vs physical addresses. The Xen
code is (hopefully) in the process of being merged, so intentionally
breaking them isn't a good idea.
So if anything there would need to be replacement functions for it
first that do the same thing. But why not just keep the old ones?
