    x86: find offset for crashkernel reservation automatically · 32105f7f
    Bernhard Walle authored
    This patch removes the need of the crashkernel=...@offset parameter to define
    a fixed offset for crashkernel reservation. That feature can be used together
    with a relocatable kernel where the kexec-tools relocate the kernel and
    get the actual offset from /proc/iomem.
    
    The use case is a kernel where the .text+.data+.bss is after 16M physical
    memory (debug kernel with lockdep on x86_64 can cause that) which caused a
    major pain in autoconfiguration in our distribution.
    
    Also, that patch unifies crashdump architectures a bit since IA64 has
    that semantics from the very beginning of the kdump port.
