[PATCH v4 10/10] crash hp: Add x86 crash hotplug support for kexec_load

[Eric DeVolder <eric.devolder@oracle.com>]

For kexec_file_load support, the loading of the crash kernel occurs
entirely within the kernel, and as such the elfcorehdr is readily
identified (so that it can be modified upon hotplug events).

This change enables support for kexec_load by identifying the
elfcorehdr segment in the arch_crash_hotplug_handler(), if it has
not already been identified.

In general, support for kexec_load requires corresponding changes
to the userspace kexec-tools utility. It is the responsibility of
the userspace kexec utility to ensure that:
 - the elfcorehdr segment is sufficiently large enough to accommodate
   hotplug changes, ala CRASH_HOTPLUG_ELFCOREHDR_SZ.
 - provides a purgatory that excludes the elfcorehdr from its list of
   run-time segments to check.
These changes to the userspace kexec utility are available, but not
yet accepted upstream.
