Register the memory reserved by fadump, so that the cache sizes are
calculated based on the free memory (i.e Total memory - reserved
memory).
Looks harmless enough to me. I'll schedule the patches for 4.8. But
it sounds like they should be backported into older kernels?
Based on the v2 feedback, I just posted a v3 at
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472476010-4709-1-git-send-email-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com
that tries to reduce the large system hash based on tha reserved memory.
Hence please drop the v2 patches.
