Git bisect points to following patch:

8dc9a0ad0c3e7f43e4e091e4e24634e21ce17a54 is the first bad commit
commit 8dc9a0ad0c3e7f43e4e091e4e24634e21ce17a54
     powerpc/book3s64/vmemmap: switch radix to use a different vmemmap handling function


Earlier, makedumpfile made use of vmemmap_list to populate all the
vmemmap regions but that changed for radix. It uses the init_mm pgtable
for vmemmap regions. A fix is needed in makedumpfile to catch up with
the above change.

Thanks
