Once all patches are applied, two new command-line parameters exist -
kernelcore and noeasyrclm. This patch adds the necessary documentation.

+ kernelcore=nn[KMG] [KNL,IA-32,IA-64,PPC,X86-64] This parameter
+ specifies the amount of memory usable by the kernel.
+ The requested amount is spread evenly throughout
+ all nodes in the system. The remaining memory
+ in each node is used for EasyRclm pages. In the
+ event, a node is too small to have both kernelcore
+ and EasyRclm pages, kernelcore pages will take
+ priority and other nodes will have a larger
+ number of kernelcore pages. The EasyRclm zone
+ is used for the allocation of pages on behalf
+ of a process and for HugeTLB pages. On ppc64,
+ it is likely that memory sections on this zone
+ can be offlined. Note that allocations like
+ PTEs-from-HighMem still use the HighMem zone if
+ it exists, and the Normal zone if it does not.
