The adjustment of memory limit does not look quite sound
- There is no code to undo the adjustment in case reservation fails
- I don't think reservation is still forced to the end of memory
causing the kernel to use memory it was supposed not to
- The CMA reservation again causes teh reserved memory to be used
- Finally the CMA reservation makes this obsolete because the reserved
memory is can be used by the system

Yes, without that you get a regression in ability to enable fadump with
limited memory - something like the below patch should fix it. Then
again, there is no code to un-move the memory_limit in case the allocation
fails, and we now have cma allocation which is dubious to allocate
beyond memory_limit. So maybe removing the memory_limit adjustment is a
bugfix removing 'feature' that has bitrotten over time.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc/fadump: adjust memlimit before MMU early init
Moving the farump memory reservation before early MMU init makes the
memlimit adjustment to make room for fadump ineffective.
Move the adjustment back before early MMU init.

Can you split out the memory limit adjustment out of memory reservation
so it can still be adjusted?

[PATCH 2/2] powerpc: avoid adjusting memory_limit for capture kernel memory reservation
Currently, if memory_limit is specified and it overlaps with memory to
be reserved for capture kernel, memory_limit is adjusted to accommodate
capture kernel. With memory reservation for capture kernel moved later
(after enforcing memory limit), this adjustment no longer holds water.
So, avoid adjusting memory_limit and error out instead.
