By default, ftrace_size is 4096 and max_ftrace_cnt is nr_cpu_ids. The
zone_sz in ramoops_init_przs() is 4096/nr_cpu_ids which might not be
page aligned. If the offset-in-page > 2048, the vaddr will be in next
page. If the next page is not mapped, it will cause kernel panic.

I just wanted to enable this driver on my board and did not change the
default value of ftrace_size. It resulted kernel panic as below:
