You are right. |ibm,errinjct|expects the physical address of the RTAS 
work buffer.
Passing the kernel virtual address of |rtas_errinjct_buf|here was incorrect.
This has been fixed in v3. The error-injection buffer is allocated in an
RTAS-accessible RMO region, and the physical address of the buffer is passed
to |ibm,errinjct|. The virtual address is used only by the kernel while 
preparing the buffer contents.
