Finally it seems that I was right at first place. KERN_VIRT_START should 
be 0 because in walk_pagetables(), it starts with:

pgd_t *pgd = pgd_offset_k(0UL);

Now that KERN_VIRT_START has changed to 0xc0000000, I get a shift of 
0xc0000000 in the display, ie the kernel pages are displayed starting at 
0x80000000 instead of 0xc0000000 (0x80000000 = 0xc0000000 + 0xc0000000)

Since we only want to display kernel pages, I guess we should use

pgd_t *pgd = pgd_offset_k(KERN_VIRT_START); but then we can't use the 
for () loop as it is.

Does it work properly on PPC64 ? If so, that's surprising.
