As mentioned in the other patch, there is a need for @exclude_ranges as crashkernel region is likely to have an overlap with regions like opal, rtas..

Will take care of that in v2. > On 06/27/2020 03:04 AM, Hari Bathini wrote: >> Some archs can have special memory regions, within the given memory >> range, which can't be used for the buffer in a kexec segment.
