On x86_32 Qemu machine with 1GB memory, the cmdline "crashkernel=1G,high"
will cause system stall as below:
ACPI: Reserving FACP table memory at [mem 0x3ffe18b8-0x3ffe192b]
ACPI: Reserving DSDT table memory at [mem 0x3ffe0040-0x3ffe18b7]
ACPI: Reserving FACS table memory at [mem 0x3ffe0000-0x3ffe003f]
ACPI: Reserving APIC table memory at [mem 0x3ffe192c-0x3ffe19bb]
ACPI: Reserving HPET table memory at [mem 0x3ffe19bc-0x3ffe19f3]
ACPI: Reserving WAET table memory at [mem 0x3ffe19f4-0x3ffe1a1b]
143MB HIGHMEM available.
879MB LOWMEM available.
mapped low ram: 0 - 36ffe000
low ram: 0 - 36ffe000
(stall here)
The reason is that the CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX is equal to CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX
on x86_32, the first high crash kernel memory reservation will fail, then
go into the "retry" loop and never came out as below.
-> reserve_crashkernel_generic() and high is true
-> alloc at [CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX, CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX] fail
-> alloc at [0, CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX] fail and repeatedly
(because CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX = CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX).
Fix it by prevent crashkernel=,high from being parsed successfully on 32bit
system with a architecture-defined macro.
After this patch, the 'crashkernel=,high' for 32bit system can't succeed,
and it has no chance to call reserve_crashkernel_generic(), therefore this
issue on x86_32 is solved.
Fixes: 9c08a2a139fe ("x86: kdump: use generic interface to simplify crashkernel reservation code")

v4:
- Add the missing macro for loongarch.
- Only define the macro for 64bit RISCV.
- Signed-off-by -> Suggested-by as suggested.
- Remove the Tested-by as suggested.
- Add acked-by.
v3:
- Fix it as Baoquan suggested.
- Update the commit message.
v2:
- Peel off the other two patches.
- Update the commit message and fix tag.
