Now we have limit kdump reseved under 896M, because kexec has the limitation.
and also bzImage need to stay under 4g.

kernel parts changes could be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git for-x86-boot

here patches are for kexec tools to load bzImage and ramdisk high acccording
to new added boot header fields.

Yinghai Lu (8):
Add min/max macro
x86: add boot header member for version 2.12
add mem64_min/max control
Move out mem_min/max checking in locate_hole
seperate checking 64bit mem range
debug print out for add_buf
x86: put ramdisk high for 64bit bzImage
x86: put 64bit bzImage high
