    x86/crash: Allocate enough low memory when crashkernel=high · 94fb9334
    Joerg Roedel authored
    When the crash kernel is loaded above 4GiB in memory, the
    first kernel allocates only 72MiB of low-memory for the DMA
    requirements of the second kernel. On systems with many
    devices this is not enough and causes device driver
    initialization errors and failed crash dumps. Testing by
    SUSE and Redhat has shown that 256MiB is a good default
    value for now and the discussion has lead to this value as
    well. So set this default value to 256MiB to make sure there
    is enough memory available for DMA.
