Oh, I thoutht it's memory issue only, should have run
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl. sorry.

About reducing the amount allocated, it may not help. Because on x86_64,
kdump kernel doesn't put any page of memory into buddy allocator of DMA
zone. Means it will defenitely OOM for atomic_pool_dma initialization.

Wondering in which case or on which device the atomic pool is needed on
AMD system with mem encrytion enabled. As we can see, the OOM will
happen too in kdump kernel on Intel system, even though it's not
necessary.

Thanks
