Subject: [PATCH] ia64: make PA() work for both physical identity-mapped virtual addresses

The EFI Runtime Services Table contains pointers to ia64 function
descriptors.  On existing, pre-Tiano, firmware, SetVirtualAddressMap()
converts *all* these pointers from physical to virtual.  On Tiano-based
firmware, the pointer to the SetVirtualAddressMap() function descriptor
is not converted, so it remains a physical pointer.

The ia64 kexec purgatory patches the SetVirtualAddressMap() function
descriptor so that when the new kernel calls SetVirtualAddressMap(), it
never reaches firmware.  Instead, it calls a dummy function that just
returns success.

Purgatory runs in physical mode, so it must convert the pointer from the
RuntimeServicesTable to a physical address.  This patch makes that
conversion work both for old firmware (where the pointer is an identity-
mapped virtual address) and new Tiano firmware (where the pointer is a
physical address).

Without this patch, kexec on Tiano firmware causes an MCA because
ia64_env_setup() subtracts PAGE_OFFSET from a physical address and ends
up with an invalid physical address.  Referencing that address causes
the MCA.
