+- No specific options are required to create a dump-capture kernel
+  for ia64, other than those specified in the arch idependent section
+  above. This means that it is possible to use the system kernel
+  as a dump-capture kernel if desired.
+
+  The crashkernel region can be automatically placed by the system
+  kernel at run time. This is done by specifying the base address as 0,
+  or omitting it all together.
+
+  crashkernel=256M@0
+  or
+  crashkernel=256M
+
+  If the start address is specified, note that the start address of the
+  kernel will be aligned to 64Mb, so if the start address is not then
+  any space below the alignment point will be wasted.
