+Finally, the [KMG] suffix is commonly described after a number of kernel
+parameter values. These 'K', 'M', and 'G' letters represent the _binary_
+multipliers 'Kilo', 'Mega', and 'Giga', equalling 2^10, 2^20, and 2^30
+bytes respectively. Such letter suffixes can also be entirely omitted.

- crashkernel=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
- [KNL] Reserve a chunk of physical memory to
- hold a kernel to switch to with kexec on panic.
+ crashkernel=size[KMG][@offset[KMG]]
+ [KNL] Using kexec, Linux can switch to a 'crash kernel'
+ upon panic. This parameter reserves the physical
+ memory region [offset, offset + size] for that kernel
+ image. If '@offset' is omitted, then a suitable offset
+ is selected automatically. Check
+ Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for further details.
crashkernel=range1:size1[,range2:size2,...][@offset]
[KNL] Same as above, but depends on the memory
in the running system. The syntax of range is
start-[end] where start and end are both
a memory unit (amount[KMG]). See also
