File kdump-nokaslr.patch of Package kdump.21349

From: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.com>

Subject: Add 'nokaslr' to the kdump kernel command line
References: bsc#1075937
Upstream: merged
Git-commit: 0724bcc8220bf2bd4a3598185dcd5ec7e9e5fe47

The kASLR algorithm may decide to place the kernel into low memory,
which does not leave enough space for SWIOTLB, and dumping fails
later on. Since the kdump environment does not run any exploitable
services, kASLR can be safely disabled.

Note that kexec already avoids the low memory reservation when
finding a suitable location for the kernel, initrd and other data.
