[PATCH v4 1/2] Documentation: kdump: remind user of nr_cpus

[Zhou Wenjian]

v3->v4: update the description of bring up SMP dump-capture kernel
v2->v3: add description of nr_cpus.
v1->v2: change nr_cpus to maxcpus

nr_cpus can help to save memory. So we should remind user of it.

 * We generally don' have to bring up a SMP kernel just to capture the
   dump. Hence generally it is useful either to build a UP dump-capture
   kernel or specify maxcpus=1 option while loading dump-capture kernel.
+  Note, though maxcpus always works, we should replace it by nr_cpus to
+  save memory if supported by the current ARCH, such as x86.
 
 * For s390x there are two kdump modes: If a ELF header is specified with
   the elfcorehdr= kernel parameter, it is used by the kdump kernel as it
