I back ported it to 6.8 stable tree according to above steps of
git operation as below. Please feel free to add it in.

Subject: [PATCH] crash: use macro to add crashk_res into iomem early for
 specific arch
Content-type: text/plain

This is back ported to v6.8 stable tree.

commit 32fbe5246582af4f611ccccee33fd6e559087252

    crash: use macro to add crashk_res into iomem early for specific arch

    There are regression reports[1][2] that crashkernel region on x86_64 can't
    be added into iomem tree sometime.  This causes the later failure of kdump
    loading.

    This happened after commit 4a693ce65b18 ("kdump: defer the insertion of
    crashkernel resources") was merged.

    Even though, these reported issues are proved to be related to other
    component, they are just exposed after above commmit applied, I still
    would like to keep crashk_res and crashk_low_res being added into iomem
    early as before because the early adding has been always there on x86_64
    and working very well.  For safety of kdump, Let's change it back.

    Here, add a macro HAVE_ARCH_ADD_CRASH_RES_TO_IOMEM_EARLY to limit that
    only ARCH defining the macro can have the early adding
    crashk_res/_low_res into iomem. Then define
    HAVE_ARCH_ADD_CRASH_RES_TO_IOMEM_EARLY on x86 to enable it.

    Note: In reserve_crashkernel_low(), there's a remnant of crashk_low_res
    handling which was mistakenly added back in commit 85fcde402db1 ("kexec:
    split crashkernel reservation code out from crash_core.c").
