The kernel config here has CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y, so __pa translates to
__phys_addr() in arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c and __pa(-PAGE_SIZE) triggers

		VIRTUAL_BUG_ON(y >= KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE);

x86 has __pa_nodebug() that does not do bounds check, but it cannot be used
in generic code because no other arch except s390 define it.

For now I don't have ideas how to make this work in the general case, so
probably we should only fix riscv for now.
