[RFC PATCH v5 6/9] fadump: Add PT_NOTE program header for vmcoreinfo

[Mahesh J Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Introduce a PT_NOTE program header that points to physical address of
vmcoreinfo_note buffer declared in kernel/kexec.c. The vmcoreinfo
note buffer is populated during crash_fadump() at the time of system
crash.

Change in v5:
- Added 'fadump_' prefix to static function relocate().
