If I read the dump correctly, 0xc01c8348 is the PC of the instruction that
crashed and the access was to 0x0007df58 which seem to well inside
0x0000_0000 - 0x7fff_ffff range.
And the "Early memory node ranges" look consistent with the memory layout
above.
My guess would be that something went wrong in the linear map setup, but it
won't hurt running with "memblock=debug" added to the kernel command line
to see if there is anything suspicious there.
