Hi Yuntao,

Thanks for your understanding and encourage. :)

Thank you very much for your patient comment. This change does indeed improve
readability. But as a combination of these two, how do you feel about moving
crash_setup_memmap_entries() behind vzalloc().

The image->elf_load_addr is determined by arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole(), this
function can ensure that the value is within the range of [crashk_res.start,
crashk_res.end), but it seems that it cannot guarantee that its value will
always be equal to crashk_res.start. Perhaps I have some omissions, please
point them out.

Thanks
