Support for relocatable kdump kernel
This patch adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can
use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234)
is passed in r8 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence
and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between
relocatable kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels.
The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in
head_64.S. During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it
is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel
will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie at the
address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter.
Enabling both CONFIG_RELOCATABLE and CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP options makes the
kdump kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as
production and kdump kernel.
