Hi,

I need to reserve a region of ram to store there a ramoops buffer.
I need to do so early so kernel doesn't overwrite the existing contents.

How to do it?

I noticed that doing memmap=20M$0x70000000 crashes the system although
it promised to work.
Is that a bug?

I have 2GB system with following memory map:
