Dear stable kernel maintainers, can you please apply this patch to all 3.x and 4.x stable kernels? Based on upstream commit bf71bc16e02162388808949b179d59d0b571b965 which doesn't apply out of the box on older kernels.

The Debian kernel v5.6 triggers this kernel panic:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Bad Address (null pointer deref?)

Fix the crash by avoiding virt_to_page() and similar functions in mem_init() until the memory zones have been fully set up.

Now queued up, thanks!
