Kexec sets up all identity mappings before booting into the new kernel, and this will cause extra memory consumption for paging structures which is quite considerable on modern machines with huge memory sizes. E.g. on a 32TB machine that is kdumping, it could waste around 128MB (around 4MB/TB) from the reserved memory after kexec sets all the identity mappings using the current 2MB page. Add to that the memory needed for the loaded kdump kernel, initramfs, etc., and it causes a kexec syscall -NOMEM failure. As a result, we had to enlarge reserved memory via "crashkernel=X" to work around this problem. This causes some trouble for distributions that use policies to evaluate the proper "crashkernel=X" value for users. So enable gbpages for kexec mappings.
