Subject: [PATCH 3/4] parisc: Use absolute_pointer for memcmp on fixed memory location

parisc:allmodconfig fails to build with the following error
when using gcc 11.x.

arch/parisc/kernel/setup.c: In function 'start_parisc':
arch/parisc/kernel/setup.c:389:28: error:
	'__builtin_memcmp_eq' specified bound 8 exceeds source size 0

Avoid the problem by using absolute_pointer() when providing a memory
address to memcmp().
