Here, crashkernel,low is reserved in region:  [0x49000000 - 0x59000000] (256 MB)
      crashkernel,high is reserved in region: [0x000000c01f000000 - 0x000000c03f000000] (512 MB)

Then here, region [0x53cbd000-0x53ccffff] is reserved in e820, and print
abvoe "usable ==> reserved". This should be the step which prevents earlier
reserved crashkernel,low from being added to iomem tree. I am not sure
what triggered the e820 update.

How do you boot into your new 6.8.0 kernel? Used kexec -l to jump into
the 2nd kernel, or reboot from bios/firmware boot up into 6.8.0?

Reverting below commit should fix your problem, can you try it?
