[kexec-tools PATCH] x86: extend kernel text size up to 1GB

Currently kexec hard code X86_64_KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE to 512M. With kASLR
enabled (CONFIG_RANDOMIZED_BASE=y), kernel image base offset could be
randomized from 0 to 1GB and kexec-tools fails to get kernel virtual
address from /proc/kcore when the offset is >512M.

Now extend X86_64_KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE to 1GB to adapt kASLR.
