Some code in sn/setup.c was trying to dereference a physical address, which 
usually doesn't work (esp. not with the region register init patch I posted).  
This patch converts the function used to find the klconfig to return virtual 
char * instead of a physical address and updates the caller to deal with it.

Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@sgi.com>

Thanks,
Jesse
