Agreed, I will clean this up later in next version.

Just a little curious about the rule to cope with this specific case. If 
"crashkernel=size@offset" was passed

but reserve failed, should try again to allocate in high memory, 
regardless the specified size@offset,

or just throw a warning and return? Since I noticed the current logic 
here on Arm64 is to check if !fixed_base first

before retrying.


Or have I missed anything else?
