[PATCH v3 1/7] powerpc/fadump: Move the metadata region to start of the reserved area.

Mahesh, I think we should explicitly document that production and 
capture kernel
versions should be same. For changes like below, older/newer production 
kernel vs
capture kernel is bound to fail. Of course, production and capture 
kernel versions
would be the same case usually but for the uninitiated, mentioning that 
explicitly
in documentation would help..?

Thanks
Hari
