per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() determines whether the passed in @addr belongs
to the first_chunk or not by just matching the address against the
address range of the base unit (unit0, used by cpu0). When an adress
from another cpu was passed in, it will always determine that the
address doesn't belong to the first chunk even when it does. This
makes the function return a bogus physical address which may lead to
crash.

This problem was discovered by Cliff Wickman while investigating a
crash during kdump on a SGI UV system.

Can you please verify this one? I added a small optimization so that
it doesn't suck too bad on large machines and it works fine here but
it would be great to have your Tested-by:.

Thanks.
