Can you explain why the current use of pa() failed to handle all
kernel address with a real example ?

A few people reported that they had problem with KPHYS/CKSEG0 address
mix for 64 bit kernels but as far I can see it was due to a miss
configuration of their kernels. Of course I can be wrong but these
people haven't given any feedbacks so far...
