CPU and memory change notifications are received in order to
regenerate the elfcorehdr.

To support cpu hotplug, a callback is registered to capture the
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN online and offline events via
cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls().

To support memory hotplug, a notifier is registered to capture the
MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier().

The cpu callback and memory notifiers call handle_hotplug_event()
which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the
architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event(). During the
process, the kexec_mutex is held.

We don't need to check if it's cpu hotplug action here? Then for mem
hotplug actions, we also get:
"crash hp: hp_action 2, cpu 0"
That cpu 0 will be confusing. And you forgot the line break.

Can we do like this:
pr_debug("crash hp: hp_action %u ", hp_action);
if (hp_action == KEXEC_CRASH_HP_REMOVE_CPU ||
hp_action == KEXEC_CRASH_HP_REMOVE_CPU)
pr_debug("cpu %u \n", cpu);

Other than this, the patch looks good to me.

OK, I'll make the changes you suggest, thanks!
