These infos are needed by the kdump crash tool. Since these values changeI have to agree with Conor.Dooley, that this patch is misleading (I see

be "Documentation: kdump: describe VMCOREINFO export for RISCV64".
For MODULES_VADDR and friends, the doc can be improved, like:

Used to get the correct ranges:
- MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END : Kernel module space.
- VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END : vmalloc() / ioremap() space.
- VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END : vmemmap region, used for struct page array.
- KASAN_SHADOW_START ~ KASAN_SHADOW_END : kasan shadow space.
- KERNEL_LINK_ADDR ~ ADDRESS_SPACE_END : Kernel link and BPF space.
