Beside this original aim, 'kexec -c' prefers to reuse this style to alloc mem at lower address, since if the reserved region is beyond 4G, then it requires extra mem (default is 16M) for swiotlb. But at this time hotplug info has been got, the limit inferior can be extend to 0, which is done by this series Cc: Tang Chen Cc: "Rafael J.
