... 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.
