Thank you for the explanation. 

So if I understand correctly, you suggest to reserve the crash kernel
memory late regardless of ZONE_DMA/32 configuration and then map that memory 
using page level mappings after the memory is reserved. 

This makes sense, but I think the patch has a few shortcomings than need to
be addressed.

I think map_crashkernel() would be a better name.

This can be called from reserve_crashkernel() directly.

__create_crashkernel_mapping() and the helpers it uses resemble very much
__create_pgd_mapping() and it's helpers. I think a cleaner way would be to
clear section mappings and than call __create_pgd_mapping() for crash
kernel memory with block/section mappings disabled.

No need for this, you can call __create_crashkernel_mapping() directly from
mapping_crashkernel().
