Unbreak kernel boot (tested with kexecboot)

Patch was sent twice upstrream:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-December/137284.html
Devices that call sharpsl_save_param() will hang on boot due to
a memcpy call that uses a physical address that is no longer * accessible. Fix
his by converting the physical address into a virtual one.
