[PATCH] crashdump: x86_64: crashkernel option
This is the x86_64 implementation of the crashkernel option. It reserves
a window of memory very early in the bootup process, so we never use
it for anything but the kernel to switch to when the running
kernel panics.
In addition to reserving this memory a resource structure is registered
so looking at /proc/iomem it is clear what happened to that memory.
ISSUES:
Is it possible to implement this in a architecture generic way?
What should be done with architectures that always use an iommu and
thus don't report their RAM memory resources in /proc/iomem?
