[PATCH] i386: define __pa_symbol()
On x86_64 we have to be careful with calculating the physical
address of kernel symbols. Both because of compiler odditities
and because the symbols live in a different range of the virtual
address space.
Having a defintition of __pa_symbol that works on both x86_64 and
i386 simplifies writing code that works for both x86_64 and
i386 that has these kinds of dependencies.
So this patch adds the trivial i386 __pa_symbol definition.
Added assembly magic similar to RELOC_HIDE as suggested by Andi Kleen.
Just picked it up from x86_64.
