[PATCH] powerpc: Separate usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET



This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't
looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on
PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries.

This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1
gazillion for 64-bit.

To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET,
_not_ KERNELBASE.

KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's
often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_.

If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel
you should subtract KERNELBASE.
