With a kernel configured with ARM64_64K_PAGES && !TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
I get this at early boot:

  SMP: Total of 8 processors activated.
  devtmpfs: initialized
  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008

  [<fffffe00007520a0>] kernel_init+0xc/0xd4

This happens in this configuration because __free_one_page() is called
with an order greater than MAX_ORDER, accesses past zone->free_list[]
and passes a bogus list_head to list_add().

arch/arm64/Kconfig has:

  config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
	int
	default "14" if (ARM64_64K_PAGES && TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE)
	default "11"

So with THP turned off MAX_ORDER == 11 but init_cma_reserved_pageblock()
passes __free_pages() an order of pageblock_order which is based on
(HPAGE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) which is 13 for 64K pages. I worked around
this by removing the THP test so FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER is always 14 for
ARM64_64K_PAGES.
