You mean this?

 ssize_t __weak elfcorehdr_read_notes(char *buf, size_t count, u64 *ppos)
 {
-       return read_from_oldmem(buf, count, ppos, 0);
+       return read_from_oldmem(buf, count, ppos, 0, sme_active());

That looks encrypted to me.

So beef up the logic in __ioremap_caller() to figure out based on the
address whether to access the memory encrypted or not. You can find out
the elfcorehdr address in the capture kernel.
