The default size reserved for crashkernel=,low is decided by the macro
DEFAULT_CRASH_KERNEL_LOW_SIZE, which is based on arch.

region above 4G, low memory under 4G is needed in this case. There are
three ways to get low memory:
- 1) Kernel will allocate at least 256M memory below 4G automatically
- if crashkernel=Y,low is not specified.
+ 1) Kernel will allocate a chunk of default size memory, which is based on

2) Let user specify low memory size instead.
3) Specified value 0 will disable low memory allocation::
