[PATCH 1/3] powerpc/fadump: set an upper limit for the default memory reserved for fadump

[Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

When boot memory size for fadump is not specified, memory is reserved
for fadump based on system RAM size. As the system RAM size increases,
the memory reserved for fadump increases as well. This patch sets an
upper limit on the memory reserved for fadump, to avoid reserving
excess memory.
