Do we need the arm64_dma32_phys_limit at all? I can see the
(arm64_dma_phys_limit ? : arm64_dma32_phys_limit) pattern in several
places but I think we can just live with the arm64_dma_phys_limit.

Also, I don't think we need any early ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT. It's only
used by memblock_alloc_low() and that's called from swiotlb_init()
after arm64_dma_phys_limit was initialised.

What about something like below (on top of you ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT
fix but I can revert that)? I haven't tested it in all configurations
yet.
