Ignore my previous comment. I see that you are setting the
PAGE_OFFSET to 0xffffc00000000000 in the next PATCH.

The commit description is can bit improved as follows:

Either the user specifies maximum physical memory size of 2GB or the
user lives with the current system constraint which is 1/4th of maximum
addressable memory in Sv39 MMU mode (i.e. 128GB) for now.

Other than above, looks good to me.
