[PATCH v7 3/5] crash: Use crash_exclude_core_ranges() on powerpc

From: Jinjie Ruan

Date: Thu Feb 26 2026 - 08:06:02 EST


The crash memory exclude of crashk_res and crashk_cma memory on powerpc
are almost identical to the generic crash_exclude_core_ranges().

By introducing the architecture-specific arch_crash_exclude_mem_range()
function with a default implementation of crash_exclude_mem_range(),
and using crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded as powerpc's separate
implementation, the generic crash_exclude_core_ranges() helper function
can be reused.
