Introduce map_physmem() and unmap_physmem()

map_physmem() returns a virtual address which can be used to access a
given physical address without involving the cache. unmap_physmem()
should be called when the virtual address returned by map_physmem() is
no longer needed.

This patch adds a stub implementation which simply returns the
physical address cast to a uchar * for all architectures except AVR32,
which converts the physical address to an uncached virtual mapping.
unmap_physmem() is a no-op on all architectures, but if any
architecture needs to do such mappings through the TLB, this is the
hook where those TLB entries can be invalidated.
