I think it is worth to also mention that kaslr enabled kernel does not
work with memmap=exactmap.

This patch in general looks good. Two minor nits below.

What is setup_data? A little comment above function will make it easy
to read. Is it that list of elements which contains extra memory map
entries?

You know what, it might be a good idea to store the pointer to
crash_memory_range in kexec_info too, (like memory_range and
memory_ranges).
