Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] ARM: support PHYS_OFFSET minimum aligned at 64KiB boundary

v2 --> v3:
1. cancel send to "patches@...linux.org.uk", the patches should have been reviewed first.
2. drop the "default n" of the configuration option ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT_RADICAL.
3. remove an unnecessary cast: below (unsigned long). "t" is already unsigned long.
   __pv_stub((unsigned long) t, t, "sub", __PV_BITS_23_16);

v1 --> v2:
Nothing changed, but add mail list: patches@...linux.org.uk

v1:
Currently, only support the kernels where the base of physical memory is
at a 16MiB boundary. Because the add/sub instructions only contains 8bits
unrotated value. But we can use one more "add/sub" instructions to handle
bits 23-16, to support PHYS_OFFSET minimum aligned at 64KiB boundary.

This function is required at least by some Huawei boards, such as Hi1380
board. Becuase the kernel Image is loaded at 2MiB boundary.

  ARM: fix trivial comments in head.S
