Yes you're right.

No.

Since 0034d395f89d ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Map all the kernel regions in the same 0xc range")

It's:

pgd_index(PAGE_OFFSET) == 0

Yep.

And we should also change the start address for hash to be PAGE_OFFSET.
Even though we don't expect anything in the page tables between
PAGE_OFFSET and KERN_VIRT_START, it's still good to check that range.
