With dynamic memory allocation support for crash memory ranges array,
there is no hard limit on the no. of crash memory ranges kernel could
export, but program headers count could overflow in the /proc/vmcore
ELF file while exporting each memory range as PT_LOAD segment. Reduce
the likelihood of a such scenario, by folding adjacent crash memory
ranges which minimizes the total number of PT_LOAD segments.

I see that the check for (!is_adjacent) in first hunk already handles
the first time allocation. Do we need this ?

Rest looks fine to me.

Right. This hunk in fadump_setup_crash_memory_ranges() is unnecessary. 
Can be dropped.
Also, I missed out on adding "#include <linux/slab.h>". Though it 
compiles fine with
upstream kernel, will add and post v3 just to be safe..
