What is the user visible behavior without this patch? Could you add more
in the patch log?
During my testing seems with or without this patch kdump kernel boot
both fine.
My kernel config options is like below, is it enough to test this patch?
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y
CONFIG_X86_NEED_RELOCS=y
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN=0x1000000
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY=y
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY_PHYSICAL_PADDING=0x0

It sounds better to split this to another patch.
