On RHEL9, crash hits a bug when executing "crash /proc/kcore" : seek error: kernel virtual address: ffff6a0f3fff0000 type: "pmd page"
The kernel virtual address does not vary with va_actual bits, instead, is determined by configuration value. But crash does not observe this fact. Since this disagreement only happens if 52-bits kernel on 48 bits platform, it can be handled only if "phys_offset_nominal < 0".
