    powerpc: Move kdump default base address to 64MB on 64bit · b5416ca9
    Anton Blanchard authored
    We are seeing boot fails on some System p machines when using the kdump
    crashkernel= boot option. The default kdump base address is 32MB, so if we
    reserve 256MB for kdump then we reserve all of the RMO except the first 32MB.
    
    We really want kdump to reserve some memory in the RMO and most of it
    elsewhere but that will require more significant changes. For now we can shift
    the default base address to 64MB when CONFIG_PPC64 and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE are
    set. This isn't quite correct since what we really care about is the kdump
    kernel is relocatable, but we already make the assumption that base kernel
    and kdump kernel have the same CONFIG_RELOCATABLE setting, eg:
    
    #ifndef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
            if (crashk_res.start != KDUMP_KERNELBASE)
                    printk("Crash kernel location must be 0x%x\n",
                                    KDUMP_KERNELBASE);
    ...
    
    RTAS is instantiated towards the top of our RMO, so if we were to go any
    higher we risk not having enough RMO memory for the kdump kernel on boxes
    with a 128MB RMO.
