I changed it like this and it works for ramdump. I don't actually have
a live setup to try this. Let me try
to set up one.

I did try "make warn" and it does not show any issues.Am I missing something ?

I did that because machspec->CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS is used for calculation of
vmemmap size. In kernel vmemmap size is calculated using VA_BITS_MIN and it is
defined like this
#if VA_BITS > 48
#define VA_BITS_MIN (48)
#else
#define VA_BITS_MIN (VA_BITS)
#endif
But I realize now that its not the right thing to do, because
machspec->CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS
is later used in arm64_calc_VA_BITS to verify machspec->VA_BITS. So
what about this ?
