[PATCH] arm64: kdump: Do not allocate crash low memory if not needed

[Zhen Lei]

When "crashkernel=X,high" is specified, the specified "crashkernel=Y,low"
memory is not required in the following corner cases:
1. If both CONFIG_ZONE_DMA and CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 are disabled, it means
   that the devices can access any memory.
2. If the system memory is small, the crash high memory may be allocated
   from the DMA zones. If that happens, there's no need to allocate
   another crash low memory because there's already one.

Add condition '(crash_base >= CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX)' to determine whether
the 'high' memory is allocated above DMA zones. Note: when both
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA and CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 are disabled, the entire physical
memory is DMA accessible, CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX equals 'PHYS_MASK + 1'.

This is Catalin's response a few days ago:
Slightly more correct is "This one lets the user specify..."

I didn't googled "This one lets", but I googled "It lets". I think he wrote it right.

Both "the user" and "users" seem to be right.

This is Catalin's response a few days ago:
Slightly more correct is "This one lets the user specify..."

I didn't googled "This one lets", but I googled "It lets". I think he wrote it right.

Both "the user" and "users" seem to be right.

Yeah, I forgot the 'this one lets' part, and I am fine too with the 'the
