Florian, I don't spot any build or runtime warning for this
virt_to_phys() with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y on Guitar/S500:

[    0.062765] CPU: Testing write buffer coherency: ok

I've tested that __pa_symbol() works as well, but I'd like to understand
this for commit message and future testing. Am I missing other options?

Regards,
Andreas
