(If others want to reproduce). First I could not reproduce on ARM32.
Then I found out that enabling CONFIG_XEN on ARCH=arm was needed to
cause the issue by enabling CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT.

Details below signature.

Say Y if you want to run Linux in a Virtual Machine on Xen on ARM.

My make compile command:

export VERSION=gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/
export CROSS_COMPILE="/home/${USER}/cross-compilers/${VERSION}/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf-"
make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_COMPILE

Pahole output:
