Hi,
Here is a patch for the issue reported by Ankur.
Could you help test this with your ramdumps and arm64 machines?

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Use VA_BITS for page_offset calculation
Commit 167d37e347fe ("arm64: assign page_offset with VA_BITS kernel
configuration value") changed the page_offset calculation from
using VA_BITS_ACTUAL to CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS. This caused an error
for ramdumps without vmcoreinfo like this:
crash: vmlinux and /var/tmp/ramdump_elf_XUtCMT do not match!
Set the vmcoreinfo value to VA_BITS if available, and use VA_BITS
for page_offset calculation instead.
Also remove ARM64_FLIP_PAGE_OFFSET_ACTUAL because it's not used
actually.
