[PATCH v4 2/2] arm64: kdump: Support crashkernel=X fall back to reserve region above DMA zones

From: Zhen Lei
Date: Wed Nov 16 2022 - 07:17:49 EST


For crashkernel=X without '@offset', select a region within DMA zones
first, and fall back to reserve region above DMA zones. This allows
users to use the same configuration on multiple platforms.
