I had tried it v1 on https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10909627/ and
v2 on https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10914169/. It seems no more
feed back and hard to push forward.

Since "x86/boot/KASLR: skip the specified crashkernel region" has no
dependency on the above patch, I would like to send the next version
for it.
