I got rid of some other config.h but somehow missed last two in this patch.
Please find attached the regenerated patch.

Defining __PHYSICAL_START and __KERNEL_START in asm-i386/page.h works but
it triggers a full kernel rebuild for the silliest of reasons. This
modifies the users to directly use CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START and linux/config.h
which prevents the full rebuild problem, which makes the code much
more maintainer and hopefully user friendly.
