I have to agree with Conor.Dooley, that this patch is misleading (I see
documentation instead of real export). So IMO, the patch subject should
be "Documentation: kdump: describe VMCOREINFO export for RISCV64".

For MODULES_VADDR and friends, the doc can be improved, like:

diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/vmcoreinfo.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/vmcoreinfo.rst

 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 region, used for struct page array.
-	KASAN_SHADOW_START ~ KASAN_SHADOW_END : kasan shadow space.
-	KERNEL_LINK_ADDR ~ ADDRESS_SPACE_END : Kernel link and BPF space.
+
+  * MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END : Kernel module space.

Thanks.
