We'll miss a bit on debug information provided to the user in case of a
wrong crash_base/size option on the command line. Not sure we care much,
though the alignment would probably be useful (maybe we document it
somewhere).

What I haven't checked is whether memblock_phys_alloc_range() aims to
get a 2MB aligned end (size) as well. If crash_size is not 2MB aligned,
crash_max wouldn't be either and the above could fail. We only care
about the crash_base to be aligned but the memblock_phys_alloc_range()
doc says that both the start and size would be aligned to this.
