[RFC/RFT PATCH 4/5] ARM: mm: change max*pfn to include the physical offset of memory

Most of the kernel code assumes that max*pfn is maximum pfns because
the physical start of memory is expected to be PFN0. Since this
assumption is not true on ARM architectures, the meaning of max*pfn
is number of memory pages. This is done to keep drivers happy which
are making use of of these variable to calculate the dma bounce limit
using dma_mask.

Now since we have a architecture override possibility for DMAable
maximum pfns, lets make meaning of max*pfns as maximum pnfs on ARM
as well.

In the patch, the dma_to_pfn/pfn_to_dma() pair is hacked to take care of
the physical memory offset. It is done this way just to enable testing
since its understood that it can come in way of single zImage.
