[PATCH] kexec: Increase the upper limit for RAM segments

This change is needed in case when the System Ram listings are retrieved 
from /proc/iomem. On a newer UEFI based Qualcomm system, the number of 
regions listed were close to 34. So, the actual system ram region was 
not covered and the kexec tool failed to load the kernel image.

So, I have requested an increase in the number of memory regions.
Thanks,
Sameer
