Just note that the replacement has been done in another patch from Mike
Rapoport, partially. He seems to have done reserve_crashkernel_low()
part, there's one left in reserve_crashkernel(), you might want to check
that. 

Mike's patch which is from a patchset has been merged into Andrew's next
tree.
