Change argument types from unsigned long to a more descriptive
phys_addr_t.

For 'entry', which is a physical addresses, sure...

This looks weird because its re-using the hyp-stub API, because it might call the hyp-stub
from the idmap. entry is passed in, so this isn't tied to kexec. Without tying it to
kexec, how do you know arg2 is a physical address?
I think it tried to be re-usable because 32bit has more users for this.

I will drop this patch. It was intended as a cleanup from suggestions
in earlier versions of this series, but I see it is not really needed.

Thank you,
Pasha
