[PATCH 1/2] mm/page_ext: Add page_ext_get_phys()

In the next patches, IOMMU code will add data to page_ext. The IOMMU code would operate on physical addresses which can be outside of system RAM. Add a new function page_ext_get_phys() to abstract the logic of checking the address and returning the page_ext.
