Thanks for testing.

Couple of questions:

1. Can you please let me know VA_BITS configured in your case?

2. Do you expect any regions other than vmalloc, vmemmap or modules,
which are not directly mapped and their physical address need to be
found from swapper_pg_dir?

In my vmcore, I did not had any address where
is_vtop_from_page_table_arm64 would be true. So, vtop_arm64 function
has been only cross checked logically. So,
a) Please put a print in vtop_arm64 and check if control goes there?
b) if yes, then please print vaddr and paddr at the end of vtop_arm64
and see if that is correct. If not we need to debug vtop_arm64.
