That is exactly right. To get a fixed LMA you must commit to a non-relocatable kernel image. Realistically this patch would need to be accompanied by something that makes ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT optional for multiplatform based on EXPERT or similar. The best usecase seems to be to support ELF tooling for low level debugging activities, a non-relocatable image isn't a blocker for that case. Since the patch is a no-op if LOAD_OFFSET isn't set, is there a downside I don't see?
