[PATCH v4 0/2] x86/boot/KASLR: skip the specified crashkernel region

[Pingfan Liu]

crashkernel=x@y or or =range1:size1[,range2:size2,...]@offset option may
fail to reserve the required memory region if KASLR puts kernel into the
region. To avoid this uncertainty, asking KASLR to skip the required
region.
And the parsing routine can be re-used at this early boot stage.
