If requized size X is too large and leads to very little free memory in ZONE_DMA after low allocation, the system may not work well. So add a threshold and go for high allocation directly if the required size is too large. The threshold is set as the half of low memory. If crash_base is outside ZONE_DMA, try to allocate at least 256M in ZONE_DMA automatically. "crashkernel=Y,low" can be used to allocate specified size low memory. For non-RPi4 platforms, change ZONE_DMA memtioned above to ZONE_DMA32. So update the Documentation.
