Hi Atish,
A 32-bit kernel built from kernel 5.10 tag does not boot on QEMU 5.1.0 'virt'.
git bisect shows that the following commit breaks the 32-bit boot:
1bd14a66ee5200d6a24419cbd2e0a0fccd4da36f is the first bad commit

RISC-V: Remove any memblock representing unusable memory area
RISC-V limits the physical memory size by -PAGE_OFFSET. Any memory beyond
that size from DRAM start is unusable. Just remove any memblock pointing
to those memory region without worrying about computing the maximum size.

Reverting this commit solves the problem. Would you please take a look?
Note QEMU 5.1.0 must be used to reproduce the problem. The latest QEMU
has switched to fw_dynamic OpenSBI binary and seems to have a problem
too.
Regards,
Bin
