KEXEC_CORE won't select CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO any more because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are shared by both kexec reboot and crash dumping. Doing this makes codes and the corresponding config items more logical (the right item depends on or is selected by the left item).
