[PATCH v4] sharpsl_param.c: ARM: pxa: fix invalid memory access

After commit 72662e01088394577be4a3f14da94cf87bea2591
ARM: head.S: only include __turn_mmu_on in the initial identity mapping

Zaurus PXA devices call sharpsl_save_param() during fixup and hang on
boot because memcpy refers to physical addresses no longer valid if the
MMU is setup.
Zaurus collie (SA1100) is unaffected (function is called in init_machine).

The code was making assumptions and for PXA the virtual address
should have been used before.
