There is already comment before the define of those macros, also
there are 32bit case which has a different reason about 512M there as
well.
So it looks better to just drop the one line comment without adding
further comments here.

If we see from the kexec's perspective, we have a common CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX
definition for both x86 32-bit and 64-bit(32-bit x86 has the same value defined for
CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX and CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX), so old kexec will load below
CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX, so I think the description is fine :-)
