    This patch uses reserve_bootmem_generic() instead of reserve_bootmem()
    to reserve the crashkernel memory on x86_64. That's necessary for NUMA
    machines, see 00212fef:
    
      [PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines
    
      This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on
      the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel.
    
      The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash
      kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the
      NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic".  I checked to make sure that no other
      function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that
      had NUMA ifdef'ed out.
    
      I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off)
      in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

    The switch-back to reserve_bootmem() was accidentally introduced in
    5c3391f9 when adding the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE
    parameter.
