Could be:

#define VIRTUAL_WARN_ON(x)	WARN_ON(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL) && (x))

Isn't it dangerous to WARN (or BUG) here ? __pa() can be used very early 
during boot, like in prom_init.c

Some other architectures have a __pa_nodebug(). The __pa() does the 
WARN() then calls __pa_nodebug(). Early users call __pa_nodebug() directly.
