[Alison Wang] I can get to __turn_mmu_on or later, but I could not get the print
message "Booting Linux on physical CPU 0xf00" in smp_setup_processor_id().

I guess something wrong with the initial page tables in __create_page_tables,
as for CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G, only PAGE_OFFSET is changed from 0x80000000 to 0xC0000000.
BTW, on our platform, TEXT_OFFSET is 0x00008000, PHYS_OFFSET is 0x80000000.

Any suggestion? Thanks.

Alison Wang
