+			[KNL] Using kexec, Linux can switch to a 'crash kernel'
+			upon panic. This parameter reserves the physical
+			memory region [offset, offset + size] for that kernel
+			image. If '@offset' is omitted, then a suitable offset
+			is selected automatically. Check
+			Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for further details.

 			[KNL] Same as above, but depends on the memory

 			start-[end] where start and end are both
