Add size restriction to the kdump documentation
Add size restriction to the kdump documentation

In efi_init() memory aligns in IA64_GRANULE_SIZE(16M). If set "crashkernel=1024M-:600M"
and use sparse memory model, when crash kernel booting it changes [128M-728M] to [128M-720M].

But initrd memory is in [709M-727M], and virt_addr_valid() *can not* check the invalid pages
when freeing initrd memory, because there are some pages missed at the end of the section,
and this causes error.

In "http://marc.info/?l=linux-arch&m=136147092429314&w=2" Tony said:
"Perhaps in Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt (which the crashkernel entry
in kernel-parameters.txt points at).  The ia64 section of kdump.txt
notes that the start address will be rounded up to a GRANULE boundary,
but doesn't talk about restrictions on the size."

This patch add size restriction to the documentation of kdump.
