Nit: can you do the usual pattern of if (err) goto err; instead?

So this would look like:

	/* Exclude crashkernel region */
	ret = crash_exclude_mem_range(cmem, crashk_res.start, crashk_res.end);
	if (ret)
		goto out;

	ret = of_reserved_mem_kdump_exclude(cmem);
	if (ret)
		goto out;
        
	ret = crash_prepare_elf64_headers(cmem, true, addr, sz);
out:
	...

With this,
