It's a bit gross tho in that KERNEL_BASE, PHYSICAL_START and LOAD_OFFSET
are about where the kernel is linked/running, and while the value ends
up happening to also be the p->v offset (and indeed not by accident), it
makes the code less clear and more confusing.

I think the main issue is that we did things wrong when implementing
non-0 based setups. PAGE_OFFSET should have remained what its name
implies which is the offset between p and v.

I don't have the bandwidth to revisit all that, but I really think that
whole are area where PAGE_OFFSET doesn't map 0 needs revisiting.
