Configs ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT and AUTO_ZRELADDR are enabled as default to S3C64XX platform
Introduction of PHYS_VIRT config as default would enable phy-to-virt and virt-to-phy translation function at boot and module loading time and enforce dynamic reallocation of memory. AUTO_ZRELADDR config would enable calculation of kernel load address at run time.
PHYS_VIRT config is mutually exclusive to XIP_KERNEL, XIP_KERNEL is used in systems with NOR flash devices, and ZRELADDR config is mutually exclusive to ZBOOT_ROM.
CFT::Call For Testing
Requesting maintainers of S3C64XX platforms to evaluate the changes on the board and comment, as I dont have the board for testing and also requesting an ACK the changes.

--- This is basically a Samsung SOC with ARM1176JZF-S instruction set, and has an operating frquency of 667MHz, it also has 64bit AXI bus. It supports WinCE, Linux, Android and Ubuntu.
This platform has two variants of CPU, S3C6400 and S3C6410.
This SOC is an Integrated system for Mobile Internet Device, Notebook, handheld/3G mobile devices.
Supports various types of ROM for booting (NOR/NAND Flash, OneNand, SD-card and others).
