ffff8800010a7000 should be OK, as crashkernel=64M@16M was passed to the
kernel.

It's here:
static void init_level2_page(pmd_t *level2p, unsigned long addr)
{
        unsigned long end_addr;

        addr &= PAGE_MASK;
        end_addr = addr + PUD_SIZE;
        while (addr < end_addr) {
here ->         set_pmd(level2p++, __pmd(addr | __PAGE_KERNEL_LARGE_EXEC));
                addr += PMD_SIZE;
        }
}
