This looks good, otherwise someone else won't stop attempting to add
support of crashk_low_res shrinking. Not sure if this will bring corner
case issue in testing, let's see. For the patch log, I tried to
rephrase, feel free to refer to.

=====
The crashk_low_res should be considered by /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
to support two crash kernel regions shrinking if existing.

While doing it, crashk_low_res will only be shrunk when the entire
crashk_res is empty; and if the crashk_res is empty and crahk_low_res
is not, change crashk_low_res to be crashk_res.
=====

With the log updated, you can add:
