I guess
#define KEXEC_BACKUP_SRC_END (640 * 1024UL)
should be more clear.

All other functions have nice, spelled out names but not this one :)
Why not fill_up_crash_elf_data()?

For some reason, my compiler complains here:
arch/x86/kernel/crash.c: In function ‘load_crashdump_segments’:
arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:704:6: warning: ‘elf_sz’ may be used uninitialized in
this function [-Wuninitialized]
arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:704:24: warning: ‘elf_addr’ may be used uninitialized
in this function [-Wuninitialized]
It is likely bogus, though.

one space after ":"
The rest looks ok to me, but that doesn't mean a whole lot considering
my very limited kexec knowledge.
