Thanks, but I'm rethinking about their meanings.
The VA_BITS is a macro replaced with CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS in the kernel
and used to calculate PAGE_OFFSET.
#define VA_BITS (CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS)
#define _PAGE_OFFSET(va) (-(UL(1) << (va)))
#define PAGE_OFFSET (_PAGE_OFFSET(VA_BITS))
It looks like we should set ms->CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS only for the value
got from the kernel config or vmcoreinfo. On the other hand, ms->VA_BITS
can be calculated from other information in crash.
So should we use ms->VA_BITS for ARM64_FLIP_PAGE_OFFSET like this?

The IKCONFIG_AVAIL flag is set by IKCFG_INIT here:
read_in_kernel_config(IKCFG_INIT);
kernel_init();
machdep_init(POST_GDB);
The get_kernel_config() cannot be used in machdep_init(PRE_GDB).
