To be consistent with the implementation of x86 and improve cross-platform
user experience. Try to allocate at least 256 MiB low memory automatically
when crashkernel=Y,low is not specified.
This should correspond to the case that crashkernel=,high is explicitly
specified, while crashkenrel=,low is omitted. It could be better to
mention these.
Okay, I'll update the description in the next version.
Otherwise, this looks good to me.
