There is still to much duplicated code here and in init_pud_remap().
Did you consider something like this:
void __init map_crashkernel(void)
{
int flags = NO_EXEC_MAPPINGS | NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS | NO_CONT_MAPPINGS;
u64 size;
/*
* check if crash kernel supported, reserved etc
*/
size = crashk_res.end + 1 - crashk_res.start;
__remove_pgd_mapping(swapper_pg_dir, __phys_to_virt(start), size);
__create_pgd_mapping(swapper_pg_dir, crashk_res.start,
__phys_to_virt(crashk_res.start), size,
PAGE_KERNEL, early_pgtable_alloc, flags);
}
