[PATCH 09/11] kexec: Provide a function to add a segment at fixed address

[Vivek Goyal]

kexec_add_buffer() can find a suitable range of memory for user buffer and
add it to list of segments. But ELF loader will require that a buffer can
be loaded at the address it has been compiled for (ET_EXEC type executables).
So we need a helper function which can see if requested memory is valid and
available and add a segment accordiingly. This patch provides that helper
function. It will be used by elf loader in later patch.
