I don't understand. For elfcorehdr updating, we only need regenerate it.
Do you update them different for memory add/remove?

What I saw is the added action for memory hotplug is only for message
printing. Is this really needed? And memory hotplug is even not
supported. Please correct me if I missed anything.

+       /* crash update on memory hotplug is not support yet */
+       if (hp_action == KEXEC_CRASH_HP_REMOVE_MEMORY || hp_action == KEXEC_CRASH_HP_ADD_MEMORY) {
+               pr_info_once("crash hp: crash update is not supported with memory hotplug\n");
+               return;
+       }
