That's what the original code did, kinda.  It called virt_to_phys() if
it is main memory, and it called immrbar_virt_to_phys() if it is MURAM.
  immrbar_virt_to_phys() did pointer math to extract the physical 
address.
You've got to be kidding.  You created yet another function
to determine the physical address from a virtual one! LOL!
Plus, you need logic in the code to first determine which
one to call?  Everyone is OK with this?
The whole point behind the patch that we posted a couple days ago is to get rid 
of this function.  The patch replaced it with a call to iopa(), but Kumar nack'd 
that.
