BUG() at boot in __phys_addr with DEBUG_VIRTUAL

I'm seeing a BUG() at boot in __phys_addr when it has DEBUG_VIRTUAL enabled:

But I've noticed something odd. kernel_map_pages_in_pgd() takes a pfn:

extern int kernel_map_pages_in_pgd(pgd_t *pgd, u64 pfn, unsigned long
address, unsigned numpages, unsigned long
page_flags);

But the code in arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c seems a bit confused
about that. Two users pass a physical address while a third passes in a
pfn:

> if (kernel_map_pages_in_pgd(pgd, text >> PAGE_SHIFT, text, npages, 0)) {
> if (kernel_map_pages_in_pgd(pgd, md->phys_addr, va, md->num_pages, pf))
> if (kernel_map_pages_in_pgd(pgd, pa_memmap, pa_memmap, num_pages, _PAGE_NX)) {

kernel_map_pages_in_pgd() also sticks that value in to 'struct
cpa_data'->pfn. But, then the "PFN" seems to get used like a physical
address. For instance:

set_pmd(pmd, __pmd(cpa->pfn | _PAGE_PSE | ...

How could this possibly work?
