Are you asking about the value CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES? This value represents
the maximum number of memory ranges, and there Elf64_Phdrs, that we need to
allow for elfcorehdr memory. So I'm not sure what the concern for alignment
is. I suppose we could also institute a minimum size for this value, say 1024.

Unfortunately I do not yet understand the concern being raised.

Sure, I will do so.

Well, it did take me a while to figure this particular item out in order for all
this code to work right (else the crash kernel would fail at boot time). So I
think it best to keep this comment.

Not necessarily needed, but I've found it useful.

Yes

I will remove this; I've mentioned this in handle_hotplug_event() where these
protect/unprotect functions are called.

Yes, so I will relocate this.

Well its not used for x86, but as I recall, Sourabh Jain needed it for the PowerPC handler.
