	Hi all,

While working on v4 of "[PATCH v3] ARM: Parse kdump DT properties", I
noticed the recently (v5.13-rc1) introduced RISC-V crash kernel support
uses "linux,elfcorehdr" in a non-standard way.  Instead of relying on a
"linux,elfcorehdr" property under the "/chosen" node, RISC-V uses a
reserved memory node with the "linux,elfcorehdr" compatible value.

As we may want to fix riscv before the release of v5.13, I decided not
to wait until my full v4 is ready, but fast-track generic
"linux,elfcorehdr" handling instead.

This series consists of 3 patches:
  1. Generic handling of "linux,elfcorehdr", as requested by Rob in a
     review comment for [1],
  2. Drop the non-standard code from riscv.  It can just use the generic
     code instead (needs corresponding changes to WIP kexec-tools),
  3. Drop the now duplicate code from arm64.  This can be postponed, as
     it can co-exist safely with the generic code.

This has been tested on arm32 (with a WIP successor of [1]), and
compile-tested on riscv64 and arm64.

Thanks for your comments!
