[PATCH] kdump: x86_64: add memmmap command line option
)
From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>
- This patch introduces the memmap option for x86_64 similar to i386.
- memmap=exactmap enables setting of an exact E820 memory map, as specified
by the user.
Changes in this version:
- Used e820_end_of_ram() to find the max_pfn as suggested by Andi kleen.
- removed PFN_UP & PFN_DOWN macros
- Printing the user defined map also.
