You are still doing a very similar conversion, only with
different addresses and offsets, and more compute
operations.

Bad assumption.  It's done to be able to use buffers allocated out
of the CPM memory or before the VM is sufficiently configured to
relocate the buffers.   This is needed for early debug prints, xmon,
and kgdb.

These modifications further remove features that have been
part of past kernels, and it has to stop.

Thanks.
