+ reserve_mem= [RAM]
+ Format: nn[KNG]:<align>:<label>
+ Reserve physical memory and label it with a name that
+ other subsystems can use to access it. This is typically
+ used for systems that do not wipe the RAM, and this command
+ line will try to reserve the same physical memory on
+ soft reboots. Note, it is not guaranteed to be the same
+ location. For example, if anything about the system changes
+ or if booting a different kernel. It can also fail if KASLR
+ places the kernel at the location of where the RAM reservation
+ was from a previous boot, the new reservation will be at a
+ different location.
+ Any subsystem using this feature must add a way to verify
+ that the contents of the physical memory is from a previous
+ boot, as there may be cases where the memory will not be
+ located at the same location.
+
+ The format is size:align:label for example, to request
+ 12 megabytes of 4096 alignment for ramoops:
+
+ reserve_mem=12M:4096:oops ramoops.mem_name=oops
