Subject[PATCH v3 2/2] x86/kdump: Reserve extra memory when SME or SEV is active
Date
Since commit c7753208a94c ("x86, swiotlb: Add memory encryption support"),
SWIOTLB will be enabled even if there is less than 4G of memory when SME
is active, to support DMA of devices that not support address with the
encrypt bit.

And commit aba2d9a6385a ("iommu/amd: Do not disable SWIOTLB if SME is
active") make the kernel keep SWIOTLB enabled even if there is an IOMMU.

Then commit d7b417fa08d1 ("x86/mm: Add DMA support for SEV memory
encryption") will always force SWIOTLB to be enabled when SEV is active
in all cases.

Now, when either SME or SEV is active, SWIOTLB will be force enabled,
and this is also true for kdump kernel. As a result kdump kernel will
run out of already scarce pre-reserved memory easily.

So when SME/SEV is active, reserve extra memory for SWIOTLB to ensure
kdump kernel have enough memory, except when "crashkernel=size[KMG],high"
is specified or any offset is used. As for the high reservation case, an
extra low memory region will always be reserved and that is enough for
SWIOTLB. Else if the offset format is used, user should be fully aware
of any possible kdump kernel memory requirement and have to organize the
memory usage carefully.
