The overrall looks good to me except of the CRASH_DUMP=n on sh, do you
have a comment about the reasoning since you have discussed with John?
Is it because of below config items?

arch/sh/Kconfig:
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
        def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP
...
config PHYSICAL_START
        hex "Physical address where the kernel is loaded" if (EXPERT || CRASH_DUMP)
        default MEMORY_START
	...
