Subject: [PATCHv7 03/11] mm: Introduce lm_alias

Certain architectures may have the kernel image mapped separately to
alias the linear map. Introduce a macro lm_alias to translate a kernel
image symbol into its linear alias. This is used in part with work to
add CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL support for arm64.
