Maybe I did not say it clear when reviewing the v1.

I suggested to move the code from to kexec_file.c because the
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE originally was introduced for the common code for
vmcoreinfo stuff when Hari worked on sharing code between powerpc
fadump and kdump.

I'm not sure we need the #ifdef CONFIG_CRASH_CORE here for these
kexec file load functions. Since they are already in kexec_file.c
so I think no need to add the #ifdef

Right. CRASH_CORE is always selected, in arch/Kconfig, by KEXEC_CORE
which is selected by KEXEC_FILE.
(In this sense, CRASH_CORE has no use any more.)
