[PATCH 3/3 v4] x86/kdump: clean up all the code related to the backup region

Lianbo Jiang
2019-10-17T09:45:14Z

When the crashkernel kernel command line option is specified, the
low 1MiB memory will always be reserved, which makes that the memory
allocated later won't fall into the low 1MiB area, thereby, it's not
necessary to create a backup region and also no need to copy the first
640k content to a backup region.

Currently, the code related to the backup region can be safely removed,
so lets clean up.
