I tried it on system with 96G of RAM. When I reserved 512M for kdump
kernel, system stopped loading somewhere in user space. With larger
reserved area /sbin/kexec can't load kernel (because of hardcoded
limitation in /sbin/kexec). After removing this limitation kernel was
loaded below 2G, but system even hasn't booted.

Unfortunately, I don't remember exact details now and have no access
to that machine temporarily. Will try to get access and come back with
details.
