I don't understand what you mean here, can you explain it a bit more ?

 From my understanding, PAGE_OFFSET should represent the start of the 
direct mapping, so in case of a relocatable kernel, its value should 
reflect the offset too.

Is there any issue with having PAGE_OFFSET equal to kernel_virt_addr ?

If we use both, we will need to know precisely when we should use 
kernel_virt_addr or PAGE_OFFSET, which I think will be painful and error 
prone.
