The elf notes is an old memory, it is encrypted.

But the elf header is a crash kernel reserved memory, which is unencrypted.
 ssize_t __weak elfcorehdr_read(char *buf, size_t count, u64 *ppos)
 {
-	return read_from_oldmem(buf, count, ppos, 0);
+	return read_from_oldmem(buf, count, ppos, 0, false);
 }

They call the same function(read_from_oldmem->ioremap_cache), so it is hard to
properly remap the memory if we don't use the parameter to distinguish.
