[RFC 1/4] Creating one or two CMA area at Boot time

From: Ronit Halder
Date: Fri Aug 12 2016 - 10:21:42 EST


This patch create CMA area(s) at boot time. In case of x86_32
only one CMA area will be created. In case of x86_64 if the
user wants to reserve high memory for crash kernel, then there
must be at least 256MB (needed for swiotlb and DMA buffers)
low memory. In that case two CMA areas (one in low memory and
one in high memory) will be created.
