    x86/kdump: Remove the backup region handling · 7c321eb2
    Lianbo Jiang authored
    
    
    When the crashkernel kernel command line option is specified, the low
    1M memory will always be reserved now. Therefore, it's not necessary to
    create a backup region anymore and also no need to copy the contents of
    the first 640k to it.
    
    Remove all the code related to handling that backup region.
