[PATCH] powerpc: Separate usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET
This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries. This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1 gazillion for 64-bit. To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET, _not_ KERNELBASE. KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_. If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel you should subtract KERNELBASE.
