There are address ranges associated and looking > at addresses it is obivious that certain memory is below 4G. yes. it is doable. but 1. will need to add more code to expand parse_iomem_single to handle multiple "Crash kernel" in kexec-tools. 2. also we already have "crashkernel_low=" in command line, so it is good to keep them consistent in /proc/iomem.
