I remember there was a suggestion during the review of an earlier
version to keep them as a separate patch(es) so that the documentation
text is easier to review, but I have no strong preference towards the
same.

I can merge the documentation patches with the respective patches
(which export the variables/defines to vmcoreinfo) in v6, unless other
maintainers have an objections towards the same.

Thanks,
Bhupesh
