The following interrelated definitions and ranges are needed by the kdump
crash tool, which are exported by "arch/riscv/kernel/crash_core.c":
VA_BITS,
PAGE_OFFSET,
phys_ram_base,
KERNEL_LINK_ADDR,
MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END,
VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END,
VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END,
Document these RISCV64 exports above.

Indicates whether the crashed kernel enabled SH extended mode.
+
+RISCV64
+=======
+
+VA_BITS
+-------
+
+The maximum number of bits for virtual addresses. Used to compute the
+virtual memory ranges.
+
+PAGE_OFFSET
+-----------
+
+Indicates the virtual kernel start address of the direct-mapped RAM region.
+
+phys_ram_base
+-------------
+
+Indicates the start physical RAM address.
+
+MODULES_VADDR|MODULES_END|VMALLOC_START|VMALLOC_END|VMEMMAP_START|VMEMMAP_END|KERNEL_LINK_ADDR
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Used to get the correct ranges:
+
+ * MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END : Kernel module space.
+ * VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END : vmalloc() / ioremap() space.
+ * VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END : vmemmap space, used for struct page array.
+ * KERNEL_LINK_ADDR : start address of Kernel link and BPF
