+ 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
+ to have more than 4G memory.

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