Yes, we are adding KHO support for LoongArch (16KB page size). The
LoongArch patches are being prepared separately. This fix is a
prerequisite.

The issue is that all three operations start the traversal at
KHO_TREE_MAX_DEPTH - 1, not KHO_TREE_MAX_DEPTH:

  kho_radix_add_page()  line 180: for (i = KHO_TREE_MAX_DEPTH - 1; i > 0; i--)
  kho_radix_del_page()  line 255: for (i = KHO_TREE_MAX_DEPTH - 1; i > 0; i--)
  kho_radix_walk_tree() line 356: __kho_radix_walk_tree(..., KHO_TREE_MAX_DEPTH - 1, ...)

So with depth=4 the effective top level is 3, not 4.

phys_to_page() of that address faults in kho_preserved_memory_reserve().

This is confirmed by a kernel panic on 7.1-rc3 LoongArch (16KB pages)
without the fix. With depth=5 the top level is 4 (shift=50):

  (key >> 50) % 2048 = 1   /* order bit correctly captured */
