[RFC v1 8/8] crash hp: Add x86 crash hotplug support for bzImage

The few changes to kexec-bzimage64.c are to record information needed
in advance of when a hotplug event occurs. This information is recorded
when the crash/capture kernel is loaded.

In particular, the index of the purgatory segment, and the handful of
register context values needed by purgatory, are recorded.
