Prior to commit:
14c127c957 ("arm64: mm: Flip kernel VA space")
... VA_START described the start of the TTBR1 address space for a given
VA size described by VA_BITS, where all kernel mappings began.
Since that commit, VA_START described a portion midway through the
address space, where the linear map ends and other kernel mappings
begin.
To avoid confusion, let's rename VA_START to PAGE_END, making it clear
that it's not the start of the TTBR1 address space and implying that
it's related to PAGE_OFFSET. Comments and other mnemonics are updated
accordingly, along with a typo fix in the decription of VMEMMAP_SIZE.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

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.
