On a related note, is there a particular reason why most of the
*_*_VIRT_BASE macros are just numbers instead of void __iomem
pointers?

My feeling is that we could save a lot of these typecasts and conversion
macros if the base addresses were already pointers in the right address
space.

I could do some cleanup and try to get the pointers right in the arm
architecture tree if you think that's a good idea.
