This is what we have been doing all along in the old kexec loading interface and the kexec loading is still default setting in some distributions. However, the current kexec_file loading interface doesn't do likt this. The function arch_kexec_walk_mem() it calls ignores checking kexec_buf.top_down, but calls walk_system_ram_res() directly to go through all resources of System RAM from bottom to up, to try to find memory region which can contain the specific kexec buffer, then call locate_mem_hole_callback() to allocate memory in that found memory region from top to down. This brings confusion especially when KASLR is widely supported , users have to make clear why kexec/kdump kernel loading position is different between these two interfaces in order to exclude unnecessary noises. Hence these two interfaces need be unified on behaviour. Here add checking if kexec_buf.top_down is 'true' in arch_kexec_walk_mem(), if yes, call the newly added walk_system_ram_res_rev() to find memory region from top to down to load kernel.
