[PATCH v8 3/5] arm64: kdump: add memory for devices by DT property, low-memory-range

[Chen Zhou <chenzhou10@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If we want to reserve crashkernel above 4G, we could use parameters
"crashkernel=X crashkernel=Y,low", in this case, specified size low
memory is reserved for crash dump kernel devices and never mapped by
the first kernel. This memory range is advertised to crash dump kernel
via DT property under /chosen,
	linux,low-memory-range=<BASE SIZE>

Crash dump kernel reads this property at boot time and call
memblock_add() after memblock_cap_memory_range() has been called.
