net/mlx4_core: Use low memory profile on kdump kernel
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When running in kdump kernel, reduce number of resources allocated for
the hardware. This will enable the NIC to operate in this low memory
environment at the expense of performance and some features not related
to the basic NIC functionality.
