+
+ In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option

+ vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
+ to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
+ (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
+
+ So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
+ the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
+ Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
+ change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
+ 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
+ Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
+ one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
+ as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
+ gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
+ is present because there are users out there who continue to use
