MIPS: Use CPHYSADDR to implement mips32 __pa
Use CPHYSADDR to implement the __pa macro converting from a virtual to a physical address for MIPS32, much as is already done for MIPS64 (though without the complication of having both compatibility & XKPHYS segments). This allows for __pa to work regardless of whether the address being translated is in kseg0 or kseg1, unlike the previous subtraction based approach which only worked for addresses in kseg0. Working for kseg1 addresses is important if __pa is used on addresses allocated by dma_alloc_coherent, where on systems with non-coherent I/O we provide addresses in kseg1. If this address is then used with dma_map_single_attrs then it is provided to virt_to_page, which in turn calls virt_to_phys which is a wrapper around __pa. The result is that we end up with a physical address 0x20000000 bytes (ie. the size of kseg0) too high. In addition to providing consistency with MIPS64 & fixing the kseg1 case above this has the added bonus of generating smaller code for systems implementing MIPS32r2 & beyond, where a single ext instruction can extract the physical address rather than needing to load an immediate into a temp register & subtract it. This results in ~1.3KB savings for a boston_defconfig kernel adjusted to set CONFIG_32BIT=y. This patch does not change the EVA case, which may or may not have similar issues around handling both cached & uncached addresses but is beyond the scope of this patch.
