Yes, it's commit 32697ff38287 ("arm64: vmemmap: Avoid base2 order of
struct page size to dimension region)"

It seems the changed VMEMMAP_START causes the out-of-range address to
wrap around to the low virtual address space.

I'm not that familiar with other architectures, but I assume that high
addresses of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS work properly for hmm as the code to
allocate a free range allocates from high addresses, descending.
