The following interrelated definitions and ranges are needed by the
kdump crash tool, which are exported by
"arch/riscv/kernel/crash_core.c":

    VA_BITS,
    PAGE_OFFSET,
    phys_ram_base,
    KERNEL_LINK_ADDR,
    MODULES_VADDR ~ MODULES_END,
    VMALLOC_START ~ VMALLOC_END,
    VMEMMAP_START ~ VMEMMAP_END,

Document these RISCV64 exports above.
