For non-relocatable kernels we need to be able to link the kernel at
approximately PAGE_OFFSET, thus requiring medany (as medlow requires the
code to be linked within 2GiB of 0).  The inverse doesn't apply, though:
since medany code can be linked anywhere it's fine to link it close to
0, so we can support the smaller memory config.

I found this when going through the savedefconfig diffs for the K210
defconfigs.  I'm not entirely sure they're doing the right thing here
(they should probably be setting CMODEL_LOW to take advantage of the
better code generation), but I don't have any way to test those
platforms so I don't want to change too much.

Looks good to me.

Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 9f36b96bc70f9707 ("RISC-V:
MAXPHYSMEM_2GB doesn't depend on CMODEL_MEDLOW").

I can confirm MAXPHYSMEM_2GB works on K210 with CMODEL_MEDANY.

As the Icicle has 1760 MiB of RAM, I gave it a try with MAXPHYSMEM_2GB
(and CMODEL_MEDANY), too.  Unfortunately it crashes very early
(needs earlycon to see):

    OF: fdt: Ignoring memory range 0x80000000 - 0x80200000

So the FDT is at 0xffffffff87e00000, i.e. at 0x7e00000 from the start
of virtual memory (CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xffffffff80000000), and thus
within the 2 GiB range.

I think you have just encountered what I suspected and mentioned in [1]: 
we recently moved the kernel to the PAGE_OFFSET address used with 
MAXPHYSMEM_2GB.

I would try to cherry-pick [1] and see if that works better :)

Given you said 1760 MiB I assume you're not running the device tree 
currently in the kernel?
But the defconfig is /arch/riscv/configs/defconfig?

I tested it w/ my newer version of the dts, using both 1760 & 736 MiB 
(ddrc_cache_lo only) w/ MAXPHYSMEM_2GB.
Enabling MAXPHYSMEM_2GB with either CMODEL_MEDANY or CMODEL_MEDLOW
lead to the same boot failure as you got.
