The file is only compiled when CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y so #ifdef is not necessary

May use set_memory_ro/rw to avoid converting to *page?

X86 kexec will copy the page while kexecing, could you check if we can move
that copying to earliyer while kexec loading, maybe machine_kexec_prepare so
that we can make a arch-independent implementation.
