+	  Automatically reserve memory for a kexec kernel, so that you don't
+	  need to specify numbers for the "crashkernel=X@Y" boot option,
+	  instead you can use "crashkernel=auto". To make this work, you need

+	  The reserved memory size is different depends on how much memory
+	  you actually have. Please check Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt.
