I think it is a good idea to copy andrew morton for this patch series.
Generally he is the one who pulls in all the kexec/kdump related patches.

^^^
Just a minor nit. Can you use elfcorebuf_sz_orig instead of elfcorebuf_sz
for allocation. This just makes it inline with free_pages() later.
elfcorebuf_sz_orig size pages are allocated and same size is freed.
