Fix e26a9e00afc482b971afcaef1db8c9034d4d6d7c 'ARM: Better
virt_to_page() handling' replaced __pv_phys_offset with
__pv_phys_pfn_offset. Also note that size of __pv_phys_offset
was quad but size of __pv_phys_pfn_offset is word. Instruction
that used to update __pv_phys_offset which address is in r6
had to update low word of __pv_phys_offset so it used #LOW_OFFSET
macro for store offset. Now when size of __pv_phys_pfn_offset is
word, no difference between little endian and big endian should
exist - i.e no offset should be used when __pv_phys_pfn_offset
is stored.

Note that for little endian image proposed change is noop,
since in little endian case #LOW_OFFSET is defined 0 anyway.

virt_to_page() is incredibly inefficient when virt-to-phys patching is
enabled.  This is because we end up with this calculation:

  page = &amp;mem_map[asm virt_to_phys(addr) &gt;&gt; 12 - __pv_phys_offset &gt;&gt; 12]

in assembly.  The asm virt_to_phys() is equivalent this this operation:

  addr - PAGE_OFFSET + __pv_phys_offset

and we can see that because this is assembly, the compiler has no chance
to optimise some of that away.  This should reduce down to:

  page = &amp;mem_map[(addr - PAGE_OFFSET) &gt;&gt; 12]

for the common cases.  Permit the compiler to make this optimisation by
giving it more of the information it needs - do this by providing a
virt_to_pfn() macro.

Another issue which makes this more complex is that __pv_phys_offset is
a 64-bit type on all platforms.  This is needlessly wasteful - if we
store the physical offset as a PFN, we can save a lot of work having
to deal with 64-bit values, which sometimes ends up producing incredibly
horrid code:

     a4c:       e3009000        movw    r9, #0
                        a4c: R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC  __pv_phys_offset
     a50:       e3409000        movt    r9, #0          ; r9 = &amp;__pv_phys_offset

<title>ARM: 7980/1: kernel: improve error message when LPAE config doesn't match CPU</title>

<id>b3634575930857724d5c3987a2739b0637999b4e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when the kernel is configured with LPAE support, but the
CPU doesn't support it, the error message is fairly cryptic:

  Error: unrecognized/unsupported processor variant (0x561f5811).

This messages is normally shown when there is an issue when comparing
the processor ID (CP15 0, c0, c0) with the values/masks described in
proc-v7.S. However, the same message is displayed when LPAE support is
enabled in the kernel configuration, but not available in the CPU,
after looking at ID_MMFR0 (CP15 0, c0, c1, 4). Having the same error
message is highly misleading.

This commit improves this by showing a different error message when
this situation occurs:

  Error: Kernel with LPAE support, but CPU does not support LPAE.

Regardless of whether this combination of configuration options
will work on currently support platforms at run time, make it
at least assemble properly.
