[MIPS] FLATMEM: introduce PHYS_OFFSET.
The old code was assuming that min_low_pfn was always 0. This
means that platforms having a big hole at their memory start
paid the price of wasting some memory for the allocation of
unused entries in mem_map[].
This patch prevents this waste.
It introduces PHYS_OFFSET define which is the start of the
physical memory and uses it wherever needed. Specially when
converting physical/virtual addresses into virtual/physical
ones.
Currently all platforms defines PHYS_OFFSET to 0.
