+Extended crashkernel syntax
+===========================
+
+While the "crashkernel=size[@offset]" syntax is sufficient for most
+configurations, sometimes it's handy to have the reserved memory dependent
+on the value of System RAM -- that's mostly for distributors that pre-setup
+the kernel command line to avoid a unbootable system after some memory has
+been removed from the machine.
+
+The syntax is:
+
+    crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]
+    range=start-[end]
+
+    'start' is inclusive and 'end' is exclusive.
+
+For example:
+
+    crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
+
+This would mean:
+
+    1) if the RAM is smaller than 512M, then don't reserve anything
+       (this is the "rescue" case)
+    2) if the RAM size is between 512M and 2G (exclusive), then reserve 64M
+    3) if the RAM size is larger than 2G, then reserve 128M
