This is 'nit' territory, but if you were to make this:

then the #ifdefs around reserve_crashkernel() can go, and the compiler will work
out that this static function can be optimised out. It also means the
compiler performs its checks, even if CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE isn't selected. The same
trick can be applied in patch 18 (around reserve_elfcorehdr()).
