Subject[PATCH 5/10] kdump: x86_64 add memmmap command line option


o This patch introduces the memmap option for x86_64 similar to i386.

o memmap=exactmap enables setting of an exact E820 memory map, as
specified by the user.

Changes in this version:

o Used e820_end_of_ram() to find the max_pfn as suggested by
Andi kleen.

o removed PFN_UP & PFN_DOWN macros

o Printing the user defined map also.
