Commit 66f51676a095 ("arm64: allow kernel Image to be loaded anywhere in
physical memory") defers the assignment of memstart_addr to the point where
all memory has been discovered and possibly clipped based on the size of
the linear region and the presence of a mem= command line parameter.

However, this results in __va() translations that have been performed up
to this point to have been carried out with a preliminary, incorrect value
of memstart_addr, and these values need to be fixed up.

To make this more transparent, change the initial value of memstart_addr to
PAGE_OFFSET so that __va() translations are effectively identity functions,
and fix up the values of initrd_start and initrd_end before use.

This is the least ugly way to address this issue in the short term (since the
offending patch is already in -next). The preferred way of dealing with this
would be to parametrise early_init_dt_check_for_initrd() in such a way that
we can decide per-arch whether it should perform the __va() translation or
not. If this is the preferred approach also for the short term, I am happy
to code that up as well.

Thanks for catching that. I should have used the __phys_to_virt()
variant instead.

Thanks,
Ard.
