On x86_32 Qemu machine with 1GB memory, the cmdline "crashkernel=4G" is ok as below: crashkernel reserved: 0x0000000020000000 - 0x0000000120000000 (4096 MB) It's similar on other architectures, such as ARM32 and RISCV32. The cause is that the crash_size is parsed and printed with "unsigned long long" data type which is 8 bytes but allocated used with "phys_addr_t" which is 4 bytes in memblock_phys_alloc_range(). Fix it by checking if crash_size is greater than system RAM size and return error if so. After this patch, there is no above confusing reserve success info.
