This patch allows Linux to act as a crash kernel for use with kdump. Userspace will let the crash kernel know about the memory region it can use through linux,usable-memory property on the /memory node (overriding its reg property), and about the memory region where the elf core header of the previous kernel is saved, through a reserved-memory node with a compatible string of "linux,elfcorehdr". This approach is the least invasive and re-uses functionality already present. I tested this on riscv64 qemu and it works as expected, you may test it by retrieving the dmesg of the previous kernel through /proc/vmcore, using the vmcore-dmesg utility from kexec-tools.
