[MIPS] FLATMEM: introduce PHYS_OFFSET.
The old code was assuming that min_low_pfn was always 0. This means that platforms having a big hole at their memory start paid the price of wasting some memory for the allocation of unused entries in mem_map[]. This patch prevents this waste. It introduces PHYS_OFFSET define which is the start of the physical memory and uses it wherever needed. Specially when converting physical/virtual addresses into virtual/physical ones. Currently all platforms defines PHYS_OFFSET to 0. Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
