Ok, I confirmed this one fixes the issue.

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
kcore-use-registerd-physmem-information.patch registers physmem information
based on ioresource. Then, this addition is unnecessary.

Why panic:
  At boot, rebuilding kclist for physmem, all KCORE_RAM entries are kfreed.
  Because this ramaining one entires kclist of KCORE_RAM in kernel data area
  to ther list, this causes panic in kclist rebuilding which calls kfree().
