Merge branch 'x86-kdump-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 kdump update from Ingo Molnar:
 "This includes two changes:

   - Raise the crash kernel reservation limit from from ~896MB to ~4GB.

     Only very old (and already known-broken) kexec-tools is supposed to
     be affected by this negatively.

   - Allow higher than 4GB crash kernel allocations when low allocations
     fail"
