The macro load_paddr() requires to know the offset between the
physical location of Xen and the virtual location.
When using the MPU, x20 will always be 0. Rather than wasting
a register for a compile-time constant value, it would be best if
we can avoid using load_paddr() altogether in the common head.S code.
The current use of load_paddr() are equivalent to adr_l() because
the MMU is off.
All the use of load_paddr() in arm64/head.S are now replaced with
adr_l(). With that, load_paddr() can now be moved in arm64/mmu/head.S.
For now, x20 is still unconditionally set. But this could change
in the future if needed.
