Hi, Xunlei.

        if (start > end)
                return 0;

See the below comment.

As I commented in last version, it is better to cover the case if the
range from start to end acrosses two pages.

Adding the following if test to test crashk_low_res is better. Then we
do not need to test if start or end is equal to 0 in kexec_mark_range.

        if (crashk_low_res.start != crashk_low_res.end) {
                kexec_mark_range(crashk_low_res.start,
                                crashk_low_res.end, protect);
        }

I think it is more readable, if we use MACRO KEXEC_CONTROL_PAGE_SIZE,
instead of using 2*PAGE_SIZE directly.
