6.4 was good. Git bisect points to following patch

commit 606787fed7268feb256957872586370b56af697a
    powerpc/64s: Remove support for ELFv1 little endian userspace

Reverting this patch allows a successful capture of vmcore.
Thanks for the report. To be sure the issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced 606787fed7268feb256957872586370b56af69
#regzbot title powerpc/64s: Crash Dump (kdump) broken with 6.5
#regzbot ignore-activity

This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already
discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when
the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or
something else totally wrong? Then just reply and tell me -- ideally
while also telling regzbot about it, as explained by the page listed in
the footer of this mail.

Developers: When fixing the issue, remember to add 'Link:' tags pointing
to the report (the parent of this mail). See page linked in footer for
details.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
