Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 089/191] MIPS: kexec: Relax memory restriction

From: Dengcheng Zhu <dzhu@...ecomp.com>

[ Upstream commit a6da4d6fdf8bd512c98d3ac7f1d16bc4bb282919 ]

We can rely on the system kernel and the dump capture kernel themselves in
memory usage.

Being restrictive with 512MB limit may cause kexec tool failure on some
platforms.
