At present, reserve_crashkernel_low() is called only when reserving crashkernel above 4G, so i deleted
this #ifdef.
If we called reserve_crashkernel_low() at the beginning of reserve_crashkernel(), i need to add it back.

Yeah, each architecture should tells us its minimum alignment. I added this default size to
fix compiling error on some architecture which didn't define it. I will add x86_64 and arm64
restriction on reserve_crashkernel_low() and delete this define.

There is compiling warning "warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast" if just use
SZ_8M or SZ_256M. We need cast swiotlb_size_or_default() to type int,so i kept the old as in x86_64.
