From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>
When the crashkernel is loaded above 4GiB in memory the first kernel only allocates 72MiB of low-memory for the DMA requirements of the second kernel. On systems with many devices this is not enough and causes device driver initialization errors and failed crash dumps. Set this default value to 256MiB to make sure there is enough memory available for DMA.
