This mostly consolidates the Book3E and Book3S behaviour in boot WRT executing from the physical or virtual address. Book3E sets up kernel virtual linear map in start_initialization_book3e and runs from the virtual linear alias after that. This change makes Book3S begin to execute from the virtual alias at the same point. Book3S can not use its MMU for that at this point, but when the MMU is disabled, the virtual linear address correctly aliases to physical memory because the top bits of the address are ignored with MMU disabled. Secondaries execute from the virtual address similarly early. This reduces the differences between subarchs, but the main motivation was to enable the PC-relative addressing ABI for Book3S, where pointer calculations must execute from the virtual address or the top bits of the pointer will be lost. This is similar to the requirement the TOC relative addressing already has that the TOC pointer use its virtual address.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
