Hi all,

Thanks for John's reminder.
commit 1a8e1cef7 ("arm64: use both ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32") broken the arm64 kdump,
there is a simple solution similar to pk's to fix this, see below:

In crash dump kernel, if the peripherals need to use ZONE_DMA like the the Raspberry Pi 4, based on
my solution, we adjusted the memory range in memblock_find_in_range.
