AKASHI Takahiro 8f579b1c4e arm64: limit memory regions based on DT property, usable-memory-range
Crash dump kernel uses only a limited range of available memory as System
RAM. On arm64 kdump, This memory range is advertised to crash dump kernel
via a device-tree property under /chosen,
   linux,usable-memory-range = <BASE SIZE>

Crash dump kernel reads this property at boot time and calls
memblock_cap_memory_range() to limit usable memory which are listed either
in UEFI memory map table or "memory" nodes of a device tree blob.

============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
