Looking at the code, this seems possible if memstart_addr which is a signed
value becomes large (after falling below 0) during arm64_memblock_init().

If this is possible only with randomized linear mapping, could you please
add IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RANDOMIZED_BASE) during the switch over. Wondering
if WARN_ON(start_linear_pa > end_linear_pa) should be added otherwise i.e
when linear mapping randomization is not enabled.

This looks okay but will double check and give it some more testing.
