    x86/debug: Extend the lower bound of crash kernel low reservations · fe2d48b8
    Jiri Bohac authored
    The following change in 2013:
    
      0212f915 ("x86: Add Crash kernel low reservation")
    
    ... introduced reserve_crashkernel_low(). This function is used to
    reserve crash kernel memory either if crashkernel=size,low is given
    on the command line or if the region reserved by reserve_crashkernel
    is entirely above 4G.
    
    reserve_crashkernel_low() tries to find a block of 'low_size' bytes.
    But there seems to be no good reason to restrict the lower bound
    of the range to 'low_size'.
    
    Make memblock_find_in_range() search from the start of memory.
