Hi Linus,
The other 3 in csky/hexagon/openrisc should have been applied in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240202140550.9886-1-yan.y.zhao@intel.com/.

This one in asm-generic is not, because Arnd said he is going to remove
the header as a whole soon. 

I explained it in the change log :)
"The pfn_to_virt() in asm-generic/page.h is not touched in this patch as
it's referenced by page_to_virt() in that header while the whole header is
going to be removed as a whole due to no one including it."

Thanks
Yan
