Subject[Patch 0/8] V3 Implement crashkernel=auto

V2 -> V3:
- Use more clever way to calculate reserved memory size, especially for IA64.
- Add that patch that implements shrinking reserved memory

V1 -> V2:
- Use include/asm-generic/kexec.h, suggested by Neil.
- Rename a local variable, suggested by Fenghua.
- Fix some style problems found by checkpatch.pl.
- Unify the Kconfig docs.

This series of patch implements automatically reserved memory for crashkernel,
by introducing a new boot option "crashkernel=auto". This idea is from Neil.

In case of breaking user-space applications, it modifies this boot option after
it decides how much memory should be reserved.

On different arch, the threshold and reserved memory size is different. Please
refer patch 7/8 which contains an update for the documentation.

Patch 8/8 implements shrinking reserved memory at run-time.

Note: This patchset was only tested on x86_64 with differernt memory sizes.
