I didn't really get your question. Linux kernel starts at a fixed location in virtual space. This is called PAGE_OFFSET. On a kernel split of 3GB/1GB, 32 system, its is 0xC000_0000. You can have a look at system.map file after compiling your kernel. When cpu runs with MMU on, your cpu generates virtual address.
