Devices that call sharpsl_save_param() will hang on boot due to
a memcpy call that uses a physical address that is no longer
accessible. This is caused by the following commit:
commit 72662e01088394577be4a3f14da94cf87bea2591

ARM: head.S: only include __turn_mmu_on in the initial identity mapping
I suspect that due to the abovementioned commit the mmu gets turned on earlier
and thus, memcpy in sharpsl_save_param() will fail.
Fix this by converting the physical address into a virtual one.
