Why don't you move the dummy reserve_crashkernel() here too?

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_RESERVE_CRASH_KERNEL
#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE
...
  '...the real crashkernel reservation code...'
...
#else                     
static void __init reserve_crashkernel(void)
{
}                                               
#endif
#endif /* CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_RESERVE_CRASH_KERNEL */

Like this, you don't need those two dummy reserve_crashkernel() in x86
and arm64?

Thanks
