The current definition of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is problematic for a couple
of reasons:
1) The value is misleading for normal 64-bit kernels, where it is
overridden at runtime if Sv48 or Sv39 is chosen. This is especially
the case for XIP kernels, which always use Sv39.
2) The option is not user-visible, but for NOMMU kernels it must be a
valid RAM address, and for !RELOCATABLE it must additionally be the
exact address where the kernel is loaded.
Fix both of these by removing the option.
1) For MMU kernels, drop the indirection through Kconfig. Additionally,
for XIP, drop the indirection through kernel_map.
2) For NOMMU kernels, use the user-visible physical RAM base if
provided. Otherwise, force the kernel to be relocatable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
