Hi Kenneth,

RISCV use a global variable pfn_base for page/pfn translation. But this
is a common name and will be used elsewhere. In those case,
the page-pfn macro which refer this name will refer to the local/input
variable of those function (such as in vfio_pin_pages_remote). This make
everything wrong.

This patch change the name from pfn_base to riscv_global_pfn_base to fix
this problem
What about removing this variable entirely and using 
PFN_DOWN(kernel_map.phys_addr) directly in ARCH_PFN_OFFSET definition? 
That would remove code from mm/init.c, which is nice :)

Thanks,

Alex
