After commit 72662e01088394577be4a3f14da94cf87bea2591
ARM: head.S: only include __turn_mmu_on in the initial identity mapping

Zaurus PXA devices call sharpsl_save_param() during fixup and hang on
boot because memcpy refers to physical addresses no longer valid if the
MMU is setup.
Zaurus collie (SA1100) is unaffected (function is called in init_machine).

Yes, moving that will have broken this, but that's only because this code
is making assumptions about stuff which we don't really "guarantee" will
be the case.  For PXA, moving it to use the virtual address is the right
solution, one which would've worked before the change too.

For SA11x0 - I suspect 0xe8ffc000 is a virtual address already (it
points into the main flash) so I think this is okay.

Some comments though:

Please be more careful about adding extraneous blank lines/spaces to files.

I'd suggest moving the (void *) cast to the #defines above, and also the
phys_to_virt() too.  With a reasonable commit log, I don't think we need
the comments either.

While removal of lines is a good thing, this isn't really part of this
patch, but I'd say in this case don't worry about that.

Thanks.
