Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation"
This was broken. It adds complexity, for no good reason. Rather than
separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(),
and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which
is more readable and has nicer semantics.
However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be
the exact same as __pa(). That fixes the bugs this patch introduced,
and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later.
Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for
the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way
all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of
constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add
more sanity-checking of the argument.
