VMEM_MAX_PHYS is supposed to be the highest physical address that can be added to the identity mapping. It should match ident_map_size, which has the same meaning. However, unlike ident_map_size it is not adjusted against various limiting factors (see the comment to setup_ident_map_size() function). That renders all checks against VMEM_MAX_PHYS invalid. Further, VMEM_MAX_PHYS is currently set to vmemmap, which is an address in virtual memory space. However, it gets compared against physical addresses in various locations. That works, because both address spaces are the same on s390, but otherwise it is wrong. Instead of fixing VMEM_MAX_PHYS misuse and semantics just remove it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
