If so, I would suggest to add extra slot for low 1M too in
fill_up_crash_elf_data() lest the low 1M could be changed in the future,
e.g [start, 1M].

And you didn't mention moving above code block up in log. I would
suggest keeping it as is because it looks more reasonable to be adjacent
to the following cmem->ranges[] handling.
