Enabling runtime P2V by default (Re: [PATCH 3/5] mach-u300: patch physoffset by default)

Hi Russell,

Right, I'm now committing a patch to hide the option unless EMBEDDED
is enabled.  I think this means we should get rid of the 'select
ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT' statements from the various platforms, so that
folk can optimize away that code if they know what they're doing.

Note: this patch will conflict with the removal of the 16-bit P2V
patching, so we need to sort that out.

ARM: enable ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT by default

Enable virtual to physical translation patching by default in all
kernels.  Hide the option behind EMBEDDED.

This can still be turned off if people desire, and they know what
they're doing, to shrink the size of the kernel to a minimum.
