"Implement shrinking the reserved memory for crash kernel, if it is more than enough." Maybe we could use block/section mapping for crashkernle mem, and split a part of crashkernel mem block/section mapping when shringking(by writing to /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size(handled by crash_shrink_memory, crash_free_reserved_phys_range)). (Maybe there is no need to split all crashkernle mem block/section mapping at boot time). Thanks.
