Actually, what's probably easier is to allocate some entries when the
purgatory is set up, and make the crash kernel only use those by modifying
the device tree accordingly. Sort of how regular memory is handled right
now. That'd be a cleaner solution with less changes needed.
The trick will be to get a decent size contiguous allocation, but the
same applies for the memory reserve.
