... or rather, one that's handled by core code, not
reserve_elfcorehdr().

So more specifically, it would be nicer to have something like:

	/*
	 * reserve_elfcorehdr() - reserves memory for elf core header
	 *
	 * This function reserves the memory occupied by an elf core header
	 * described in the device tree. This region contains all the
	 * information about primary kernel's core image and is used by a dump
	 * capture kernel to access the system memory on primary kernel.
	 */

Thanks,
Mark.
