The node structures are allocated from memblock rather than kzmalloc, so
I'd suggest to use "dynamically allocated":

... node_data is dynamically allocated

And here as well, rather then mention kzalloc

	... __pa() can handle both dynamic allocation and symbol cases.

More generally, I wonder how other architectures than support DEBUG_VIRTUAL
cope with this?

Maybe such lack of consistency between debug and no-debug version of
arm64::virt_to_phys() is what needs to be fixed at the first place?
