From: Hari Bathini <hbath...@linux.ibm.com>
Sometimes, memory reservation for KDump/FADump can overlap with memory
marked for hugepages. This overlap leads to error, hang in KDump case
and copy error reported by f/w in case of FADump, while trying to
capture dump. Report error while setting up memory for the capture
kernel instead of running into issues while capturing dump, by moving
KDump/FADump reservation below MMU early init and failing gracefully
when hugepages memory overlaps with capture kernel memory.
