I think I spoke too soon. :(
In the kasan code, use of tmp_pg_dir, kasan_zero_{page,pte,pmd,pud} all
need to be vetted, as those are in the image, but get passed directly to
functions which will end up doing a virt_to_phys behind the scenes (e.g.
cpu_replace_ttbr1(), pmd_populate_kernel()).
There's also some virt_to_pfn(<symbol>) usage that needs to be fixed up
in arch/arm64/kernel/hibernate.c.
... there's also more of that in common kernel code. :(
Thanks,
Mark.
