Kexec-tools use mem=X@Y to pass usable memories to crash kernel, but in
commit a94e4f24ec836c8984f83959 ("MIPS: init: Drop boot_mem_map") all
BIOS passed memories are removed by early_parse_mem(). I think this is
reasonable for a normal kernel but not for a crash kernel, because a
crash kernel should be able to see all old memories, even though it is
not supposed to use them.

Fixes: a94e4f24ec836c8984f83959 ("MIPS: init: Drop boot_mem_map")
