This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
- kernel will support. Current maximum is 256 CPUs due to

APIC addressing limits. Less depending on the hardware.
This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU requires

- This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. Normally
- for regular kernels this value is 0x200000 (2MB). But in the case
- of kexec on panic the fail safe kernel needs to run at a different
- address than the panic-ed kernel. This option is used to set the load
- address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed
- after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is
- 0x1000000 (16MB). This can also be set based on the "X" value as
+ This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. It
+ should be aligned to 2MB boundary.
+
+ If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
+ bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
+ run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
+ it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
+ address.
+
+ In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
+ as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
+ (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
+ address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
+ to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
+ vmlinux instead.
+
+ So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
+ the value here unchanged to 0x200000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
+ Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
+ change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
+ 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
+ Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is advantageous as
+ one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
+ as production kernel and capture kernel.

Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
