commit 568c5fe5a54f2654f5a4c599c45b8a62ed9a2013 upstream.

Certain architectures may have the kernel image mapped separately to
alias the linear map. Introduce a macro lm_alias to translate a kernel
image symbol into its linear alias. This is used in part with work to
add CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL support for arm64.
