I don't think we should mention non-RPi4 explicitly here. I don't even understand what the suggestion is since the only way is to disable ZONE_DMA in the kernel config. I'd just stick to ZONE_DMA description here. > + Use "crashkernel=Y@X" if you really have to reserve memory from > + specified start address X.
