[PATCH] kdump: Retrieve saved max pfn

Browse source

This patch retrieves the max_pfn being used by previous kernel and stores it
in a safe location (saved_max_pfn) before it is overwritten due to user
defined memory map.  This pfn is used to make sure that user does not try to
read the physical memory beyond saved_max_pfn.
