This is an arm64-specific symbol, and one that only controls a
default.  I don't think it is suitable to key off stubs in common
code.

Pleae avoid overly long lines.

This can just use page_address.

But more importantly:  set_memory_valid only exists on arm64, this
will break compile everywhere else.  And this API is complete crap.
Passing kernel virtual addresses as unsigned long just sucks, and
passing an integer argument for valid/non-valid also is a horrible
API.

Not to mention the overly long line.  Same on the free side.
