Hi Kazu, Li Jiang

Could you help comment whether we need KASAN_SHADOW_START and
KERNEL_LINK_ADDR area export for vmcore from crash point of view？

In my crash patch set, I don't use KASAN_SHADOW_START,
And only get the value of KERNEL_LINK_ADDR, not realy use it.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/cover/20220813031753.3097720-1-xianting.tian@linux.alibaba.com/

If we need to remove the two areas, I will resend the crash patch set and kernel patch set.
thanks
