[PATCH] x86: fix lower bound of crash kernel low reservation

From: Jiri Bohac
Date: Fri Jun 16 2017 - 12:16:07 EST


Commit 0212f9159694 (x86: Add Crash kernel low reservation)
introduced reserve_crashkernel_low. This is used to reserve
crash kernel memory either if crashkernel=size,low is given
on the command line or if the region reserved by
reserve_crashkernel is entirely above 4G.

reserve_crashkernel_low tries to find a block of low_size bytes.
But there seems to be no good reason to restrict the lower bound
of the range to low_size.

Make memblock_find_in_range search from the start of memory.
