[PATCH v10 2/5] arm64: kdump: reserve crashkenel above 4G for crash dump kernel

Crashkernel=X tries to reserve memory for the crash dump kernel under
4G. If crashkernel=X,low is specified simultaneously, reserve spcified
size low memory for crash kdump kernel devices firstly and then reserve
memory above 4G.

Suggested by James, just introduced crashkernel=X,low to arm64. As memtioned
above, if crashkernel=X,low is specified simultaneously, reserve spcified
size low memory for crash kdump kernel devices firstly and then reserve
memory above 4G, which is much simpler.
