[patch 4/5] x86: use BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE on 32-bit

From: Greg KH
Date: Sun Jun 22 2008 - 15:05:27 EST


2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Bernhard Walle <bwalle@xxxxxxx>

commit d3942cff620bea073fc4e3c8ed878eb1e84615ce upstream

This patch uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE for crashkernel reservation also for
i386 and prints a error message on failure.

The patch is still for 2.6.26 since it is only bug fixing. The unification
of reserve_crashkernel() between i386 and x86_64 should be done for 2.6.27.
