[PATCH 2/33] i386: define __pa_symbol

[Eric W. Biederman]

On x86_64 we have to be careful with calculating the physical
address of kernel symbols.  Both because of compiler odditities
and because the symbols live in a different range of the virtual
address space.

Having a defintition of __pa_symbol that works on both x86_64 and
i386 simplifies writing code that works for both x86_64 and
i386 that has these kinds of dependencies.

So this patch adds the trivial i386 __pa_symbol definition.
