I keep looking at this patch, and I really find that I detest this
PHYS_OFFSET_FIXUP thing - it's really not obvious what's going on
here.  It's taken a _long_ time to work this out, which _really_
isn't good going forward.

Let's instead change things to make it much more obvious - see the
patch below.
