It's very easy to confuse __PHYS_OFFSET and PHYS_OFFSET. To clarify things, let's remove __PHYS_OFFSET and use KERNEL_START directly, with comments to show that we're using physical address, as we do for other objects. At the same time, update the comment regarding the kernel entry address to mention __pa(KERNEL_START) rather than __pa(PAGE_OFFSET). There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
