Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Wandun Chen <[email protected]>

Add a 'dumpable' flag to struct reserved_mem so the kernel can decide
whether a reserved area should be included in the kdump vmcore. Most
reserved regions are owned by devices and do not contain data useful
for kernel crash analysis, so excluding them by default is the right
behaviour.

Reusable CMA regions are different: pages in a CMA region are handed
back to the buddy allocator and may contain key data for crash
analysis, so set dumpable to true in rmem_cma_setup().
