All the existing users of crashkernel=xM *will not* be affected by this change. Memory reservation will still be below 892MB. Memory reservation will gove above 896MB, only if user chooses to reserve more memory. If kexec works in that case, its a win-win situation. If it does not and fails, then it is status quo is maintained. Thanks Vivek
