Enabling crash dump (kdump) includes * prepare contents of ELF header of a core dump file, /proc/vmcore, using crash_prepare_elf64_headers(), and * add two device tree properties, "linux,usable-memory-range" and "linux,elfcorehdr", which represent repsectively a memory range to be used by crash dump kernel and the header's location

It came to me at 2am: this only works on big-endian, which is exactly what you want as that is the DT format.
Do we really expect a system to have #address-cells > 2?
Thanks, James
