> During arm64 setup_arch(), efi_init() -> reserve_regions() calls
> is_kho_boot() before arm64_memblock_init() initializes memstart_addr.
> At this point memstart_addr still holds its initial sentinel value (-1).
>
> When booting via kexec with KHO enabled, kho_populate() sets
> kho_in.fdt_phys from the /chosen FDT node. Calling is_kho_boot() ->
> kho_get_fdt() invokes phys_to_virt(kho_in.fdt_phys), which evaluates
> PHYS_OFFSET and triggers VM_BUG_ON(memstart_addr & 1) on arm64 kernels
> built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y:
>
> kernel BUG at ./arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h:377!
> Internal error: Oops - BUG: 00000000f2000800 [#1] SMP

> Check kho_in.fdt_phys directly in is_kho_boot() instead of calling
> kho_get_fdt() so that early boot callers do not invoke phys_to_virt()
> before the linear map offset is initialized.
