IMO, it is a good time to update 'Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt' with this patchset itself for both x86_64 and arm64, where we still specify only the old format for 'crashkernel' boot-argument:

Section: Boot into System Kernel
         =======================

On arm64, use "crashkernel=Y[@X]".  Note that the start address of
the kernel, X if explicitly specified, must be aligned to 2MiB (0x200000).
...

We can update this to add the new crashkernel=size[KMG],low or crashkernel=size[KMG],high format as well.

Thanks,
Bhupesh
