Oh, sorry for the confusion.

You are right, I should have taken this as v3 and posted to avoid
confusion.

I add below change log for this series, not sure if it's clearer than
before. E.g for m68k, the <asm/kexec.h> is included in <linux/kexec.h>.
The old ifdeffery CONFIG_KEXEC will cause those definitions in
asm/kexec.h unseen if CONFIG_KEXEC is unset. See
KEXEC_SOURCE_MEMORY_LIMIT, it's needed in kernel/kexec_core.c.

Changelog:
------------
v2->v3:
- Change the incorrect ifdeffery CONFIG_KEXEC in arch. Since select of
  KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP in kernel/Kconfig.kexec is dropped, people can
  set below config items dependently of CONFIG_KEXEC. Then those
  KEXEC_CORE or CRASH_CORE related codes compiling will report error.

  ===
  CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
  CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
  CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
  ===
- Change the incorrect ifdeffery CONFIG_KEXEC in get_cmdline_acpi_rsdp()
  of x86 because kexec_file_load needs that too.

v1->v2:
- V1 only includes fix on loongarch. Add m68k, mips, sh fix in v2 too.
