I found the problem. the __set_fixmap need to __va, so the entries
will be referred from PAGE_OFFSET.

solution will be
1. move enable_dbgp_console from setup_early_printk, and call it from
setup_arch after init_memory_mapping.
2. or make __set_fixmap can use __pa or pa()+__START_KERNEL_map in
addtion to _va.

please check attached updated patch that is your patch plus 1.
