Remove "crashkernel" sounds not a proper way, it indicates crashkernel parsing
messages. I have no idea what is the best way but below modification sounds better to me:

kexec_core.c:

#define pr_fmt(fmt)        "[kexec_core] " fmt
Also remove below prefix "Kexec:"
pr_warn("Kexec: Memory allocation for saving cpu register states failed\n"); 

kexec.c:
#define pr_fmt(fmt)        "[kexec] " fmt

kexec_file.c:
#define pr_fmt(fmt)        "[kexec_file] " fmt

Thanks
