powerpc: Move kdump default base address to half RMO size on 64bit
We are seeing boot failures on some very large boxes even with commit b5416ca9f824 (powerpc: Move kdump default base address to 64MB on 64bit). This patch halves the RMO so both kernels get about the same amount of RMO memory. On large machines this region will be at least 256MB, so each kernel will get 128MB. We cap it at 256MB (small SLB size) since some early allocations need to be in the bolted SLB region. We could relax this on machines with 1TB SLBs in a future patch.
