Commit 4e042af463f8 ("s390/kexec: fix crash on resize of reserved memory")
added a comment that says "crash kernel resource should not be part of the
System RAM resource" but never explained why. As it looks from the code in
the kernel and in kexec there is no actual reason for that.

Are you sure?

Looking at kexec-tools: kexec/arch/s390/kexec-s390.c

get_memory_ranges_s390() wants "System RAM" and Crash kernel only with 
"with_crashk=1". Your patch would change that. "Crash kernel" would 
always be included if you make it a child of "System RAM".

Further, get_memory_ranges() and is_crashkernel_mem_reserved() look out 
for "Crash kernel\n" via parse_iomem_single().

However, parse_iomem_single() does not care about ranges that start with 
spaces IIRC via
   sscanf(line, "%llx-%llx : %n" ...

So once you make "Crash kernel" a child of "System RAM", kexec-tools 
would break if I'm not completely wrong.
