[PATCH v19 5/7] x86/crash: add x86 crash hotplug support

[Eric DeVolder]

When CPU or memory is hot un/plugged, or off/onlined, the crash
elfcorehdr, which describes the CPUs and memory in the system,
must also be updated.

The segment containing the elfcorehdr is identified at run-time
in crash_core:crash_handle_hotplug_event(), which works for both
the kexec_load() and kexec_file_load() syscalls. A new elfcorehdr
is generated from the available CPUs and memory into a buffer,
and then installed over the top of the existing elfcorehdr.

In the patch 'kexec: exclude elfcorehdr from the segment digest'
the need to update purgatory due to the change in elfcorehdr was
eliminated.  As a result, no changes to purgatory or boot_params
(as the elfcorehdr= kernel command line parameter pointer
remains unchanged and correct) are needed, just elfcorehdr.

To accommodate a growing number of resources via hotplug, the
elfcorehdr segment must be sufficiently large enough to accommodate
changes, see the CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES description. This is used
only on the kexec_file_load() syscall; for kexec_load() userspace
will need to size the segment similarly.

To accommodate kexec_load() syscall in the absence of
kexec_file_load() syscall support, and with CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG
enabled, it is necessary to move prepare_elf_headers() and
dependents outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE.
