Neat!

Perhaps we could have:

#define	PHYS_OFFSET	(KERNEL_START - TEXT_OFFSET)

Which would make the all the PHYS_OFFSET calculations self-documenting.
It shouldn't clash with the asm/memory.h definition because that's in an
#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ block.

Either way it all looks correct (and it's nice to see head.S shrink),
so:

I assume you'll add this to the series introducing adr_l and friends?
