The fix is not wrong, it is just incomplete: it fixes the issue with the 
not-existing-anymore address but introduces the problem with the 
possible allocations in the reserved regions (which you explained 
clearly below, thanks).

Not sure this commit is related to this fix and it's hard to find *one* 
culprit: TBH I only mentioned this one as otherwise I think the right 
commit is commit 8f3a2b4a96dc ("RISC-V: Move DT mapping outof fixmap") 
but that's a long time ago and the patch won't apply easily, not sure 
what to do here.

Great, if that breaks something, we'll share responsibility then, thanks :)
