Subject: [PATCH] x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically Current code does not set low range for crashkernel if the user does not specify that. That cause regressions on system that does not support intel_iommu properly. Chao said that his system does work well on 3.8 without extra parameter. even iommu does not work with kdump. Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that. For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram. -v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad.
