All the other callers of cpu_replace_ttbr1() wrap swapper_pg_dir in lm_alias().
I'm pretty sure this is so that virt_to_phys() works when swapper_pg_dir's
address is in the vmalloc range.

CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL should catch problems like this.


(Nit: you shouldn't need the #ifdeffery, the only caller of this function is in
the same file, so the compiler should do the right thing)
