On RHEL9, crash hits a bug when executing "crash /proc/kcore" :
seek error: kernel virtual address: ffff6a0f3fff0000 type: "pmd page"
The kernel virtual address does not vary with va_actual bits, instead,
is determined by configuration value. But crash does not observe this
fact.
Since this disagreement only happens if 52-bits kernel on 48 bits platform,
it can be handled only if "memstart_addr < 0".
