Hmm, I checked commit d70c27b728b8da1 ("sh, kexec: fix the incorrect
ifdeffery and dependency of CONFIG_KEXEC") again, those ifdeffery of
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE should be changed to CONFIG_CRASH_CORE because those
embraced codes are crash_core related codes.

machine_kexec() is needed by kexec reboot and crash dumping. We either
enable CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, CONFIG_KEXEC or CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE only for
kexec reboot, or enable CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, CONFIG_KEXEC or CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE
and CONFIG_CRASH_CORE, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP to support kexec reboot and
crash dumping. Seems KEXEC_CORE codes can be built not relying on
CRASH_CORE, while CRASH_CORE need be built relying on KEXEC_CORE,
otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Anyway, I will try to clean up the ifdeffery so that they looks clearer.
