This PATCH breaks the CPU hotplug functionality.
When a CPU/HART is turned off and turned on at runtime, the
low-level relocate() will be called to enable MMU on the CPU
being brought-up which in-turn uses trampoline_pg_dir.

Yeah, I forgot that.
How about removing trampoline_pg_dir totally and using
early_pg_dir/swapper_pg_dir for relocate directly?

The trampoline_pg_dir is to handle the case when RAM is
large enough such that RAM physical address range overlaps
kernel virtual address range (i.e. VA >= PAGE_OFFSET). This
is overlap of virtual address range and physical address range
can be problematic for low-level code which is trying to enable
MMU (such as the relocate() function).
Here's a old kernel thread which tries to summarize this:

Got it. Thank you so much for sharing.
I would use the patch as private for F133 memory saving.
