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.
