peter, vivek,
it seems 32bit kdump need crashkernel much low than we expect...
Maybe we have to find_in_range_low() to make 32bit kdump happy.
Thanks

Subject: [PATCH] x86, memblock: Add memblock_x86_find_in_range_low()
Generic version is going from high to low, and it seems it can not find
right area compact enough.
the x86 version will go from goal to limit and just like the way We used
for early_res
to make crashkernel happy with 32bit kdump
