I would call that new field va_kernel_xip_data_pa_offset so that we know 
at first sight it only applies to XIP_KERNEL (and maybe rename 
va_kernel_xip_pa_offset into va_kernel_xip_text_pa_offset?).

I think you missed the occurence of va_kernel_pa_offset() in 
arch/riscv/kernel/vmcore_info.c.

Although some nits above, you can add:
