This patch uses reserve_bootmem_generic() instead of reserve_bootmem()
to reserve the crashkernel memory on x86_64. That's necessary for NUMA
machines, see 00212fef81:
[PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines
This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on
the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel.
The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash
kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the
NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic". I checked to make sure that no other
function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that
had NUMA ifdef'ed out.
I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off)
in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

The switch-back to reserve_bootmem() was accidentally introduced in
5c3391f9f7 when adding the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE
parameter.
