And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make kdump work. We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y. This causes regression if iommu is not enabled. Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel. Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that. For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram. -v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad. -v4: add comments what 8M is for according to hpa. also update more crashkernel_low= in kernel-parameters.txt -v5: update changelog according to Vivek. -v6: Change description about swiotlb referring according to HATAYAMA.
