That's a bit tricky if a SoC has all RAM above 4G. IIRC AMD Seattle had
this layout. See max_zone_phys() for how we deal with this, basically
extending ZONE_DMA to the whole range if RAM starts above 4GB. In that
case, crashkernel reservation would fall in the range above 4GB.

BTW, we changed the max_zone_phys() logic with commit 791ab8b2e3db
("arm64: Ignore any DMA offsets in the max_zone_phys() calculation").
