Similar with x86_32, on Qemu vexpress-a9 with 1GB memory, the crash kernel
"crashkernel=4G" is ok as below:
Reserving 4096MB of memory at 2432MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 1024MB)
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 the crash_size is greater than system RAM size and
warn out if so as Baoquan suggested.
After this patch, it fails and warn out as expected and no above confusing
reserve success info.

- Update the fix method.
- Peel off the other two patches.
