Since commite641eb03ab("powerpc: Fix up the kdump base cap to 128M") memory for kdump kernel has been reserved at an offset of 128MB. This held up well for a long time before running into boot failure on LPARs having a lot of cores. Commit7c5ed82b80("powerpc: Set crashkernel offset to mid of RMA region") fixed this boot failure by moving the offset to mid of RMA region. This change meant the offset is either 256MB or 512MB on LPARs as ppc64_rma_size was 512MB or 1024MB owing to commit103a8542cb("powerpc/book3s64/ radix: Fix boot failure with large amount of guest memory"). But ppc64_rma_size can be larger as well with newer f/w. So, limit crashkernel reservation offset to 512MB to avoid running into boot failures during kdump kernel boot, due to RTAS or other allocation restrictions. Also, while here, use SZ_128M instead of opening coding it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
