above boot memory size is released when the dump is invalidated. Make
this a bit more explicit in the code.
I'm not clear on what you mean by "boot memory size"?
boot memory size is the amount of memory used to boot the capture kernel. Basically,
the amount of memory required for the kernel to boot successfully when booted with
restricted memory..
