Some of our phony targets are not marked as such. This can lead to
confusing errors, eg:
$ make clean
$ touch install
$ make install
make: 'install' is up to date.
$
Fix it by adding them to the PHONY variable which is marked phony in
the top-level Makefile, or in scripts/Makefile.build

Currently, if memory_limit is specified and it overlaps with memory to
be reserved for capture kernel, memory_limit is adjusted to accommodate
capture kernel. With memory reservation for capture kernel moved later
(after enforcing memory limit), this adjustment no longer holds

Sometimes, memory reservation for KDump/FADump can overlap with memory
