[PATCH v5 11/11] kexec: Add option to get crash kernel region size

[Eric DeVolder]

From: Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper at oracle.com>

Crash kernel region size is available via sysfs on Linux running on
bare metal. However, this does not work when Linux runs as Xen dom0.
In this case Xen crash kernel region size should be established using
__HYPERVISOR_kexec_op hypercall (Linux kernel kexec functionality does
not make a lot of sense in Xen dom0). Sadly hypercalls are not easily
accessible using shell scripts or something like that. Potentially we
can check "xl dmesg" output for crashkernel option but this is not nice.
So, let's add this functionality, for Linux running on bare metal and
as Xen dom0, to kexec-tools. This way kdump scripts may establish crash
kernel region size in one way regardless of platform. All burden of
platform detection lies on kexec-tools.

Figure (and unit) displayed by this new kexec-tools functionality is
the same as one taken from /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size.

v5: Incorporated feedback:
    - Fixed indentation in print_crash_kernel_load_range()
    - changes for coding convention and formatting
v4: Incorporated feedback:
    - changes for coding convention and formatting
    - Changed commit description to make it clear that
      get_crash_kernel_load_range() is a stub on some archs
v3: Incorporated feedback:
    - changes for coding convention and formatting
    - restructured to introduce get_crash_kernel_load_range() for each
      architecture, and then a single function in kexec/kexec.c to call
      the per-architecture get_crash_kernel_load_range() and print the
      result.
v2: Incorporated feedback:
    - utilize the is_crashkernel_mem_reserved() function common in all archs
    - for ppc and ppc64, utilize device-tree values to print size
    - for unsupported architectures, print appropriate message
