Sorry, It is the two patches:

   RISC-V: Add arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo support
   Documentation: kdump: describe VMCOREINFO export for RISCV64

I saw Palmer already merged the two patches to his riscv-crash branch, 
it means they are OK?

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/linux.git/log/?h=riscv-crash

I saw Bagas's comments, I will send new version patch for the two 
patches, thanks for the reminder.
