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
+ architecture, below 4G automatically if crashkernel=Y,low is not
+ specified.
2) Let user specify low memory size instead.
3) Specified value 0 will disable low memory allocation::
