Crashkernel=X tries to reserve memory for the crash dump kernel under 4G. If crashkernel=X,low is specified simultaneously, reserve spcified size low memory for crash kdump kernel devices firstly and then reserve memory above 4G.
Wondering why crashkernel=,high is not introduced to arm64 to be consistent with x86_64, to make the behaviour be the same on all architecutres.
