Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Cleanup vmlinux.lds.S

To support 32/64 bits system, we have some definition conditionally. while
some definition is duplicated:

* __PHYSICAL_START has the same definition as LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR
* LOAD_OFFSET could be defined directly to __START_KERNEL_map 

After these cleanup, we could reduce some complexity of vmlinux.lds.S.

Wei Yang (4):
  vmlinux.lds.h: fix a typo in comment
  x86/boot: replace __PHYSICAL_START with LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR
  x86/vmlinux.lds.S: remove conditional definition of LOAD_OFFSET
  x86/vmlinux.lds.S: take __START_KERNEL out conditional definition
