Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2]  x86/boot/KASLR: skip the specified crashkernel region

crashkernel=x@y or or =range1:size1[,range2:size2,...]@offset option may
fail to reserve the required memory region if KASLR puts kernel into the
region. To avoid this uncertainty, asking KASLR to skip the required
region.
And the parsing routine can be re-used at this early boot stage.

v3 -> v4:
  reuse the parse_crashkernel_xx routines

  kernel/crash_core: separate the parsing routines to
    lib/parse_crashkernel.c
