File kdump-calibrate-top-down.patch of Package kdump.2364

From: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.com>
Date: Fri Nov 6 10:10:43 2015 +0100
Subject: calibrate: Search memory ranges from top to bottom
References: bsc#952141
Patch-mainline: v.0.8.16
Git-commit: 8f86bf14fb3f7486cd3c0b58d86afdcb4f6bdc72

Crash area is allocated as high as possible by the kernel. This
should be reflected by the calibration code to make sure low memory
is allocated whenever necessary.
