Can you please just use RISC-V: for the whole series, my OCD
hates the mix haha.

This commit description doesn't seem to match the patches at all.
I don't see any exporting happening here at all - this is documenting
the export. Maybe I am just misunderstanding, but this commit message
just doesn't seem to match the change. Secondly, should the subject not
be something like "docs: admin-guide: add riscv crash kernel yada yada"?
Maybe the current subject lime that explains the lack of a review from
the docs maintainer?

Thanks,
Conor.
