[RFC PATCH 02/10] arm64: introduce __kimg_to_phys() and __pa_symbol()

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Before restricting the domain of __pa()'s argument to the linear mapping,
introduce alternatives __kimg_to_phys() and its alias __pa_symbol() [of
which the latter exists on x86 as well] that can be used to obtain the
physical address of a static object or function in the kernel text.
