[PATCH] x86/boot/KASLR: skip the specified crashkernel reserved region

From: Pingfan Liu
Date: Mon Feb 25 2019 - 03:00:32 EST


crashkernel=x@y option may fail to reserve the required memory region if
KASLR puts kernel into the region. To avoid this uncertainty, making KASLR
skip the required region.
