Yes, I'll consider this for inclusion.  You get patches into the
kernel by sending them to this list, so you're off to a good start
there.

Please use pfn_base the way sparc64 does.  Shifting every time this is
used is unnecessarily expensive.  It would be nice if we could also
dispense with making __va and __pa nonconstant, but unlike sparc64 we
don't have the luxury of huge space to map into.

Otherwise this looks pretty good at first glance.

Thanks for doing this, Stefan.
