[RFC v1 7/8] crash hp: Add x86 crash hotplug support for kexec_file_load

When CPU or memory is hot un/plugged, the crash elfcorehdr which
describes the CPUs and memory in the system, must also be updated.
To update the elfcorehdr for x86_64, a new elfcorehdr must be
generated from the available CPUs and memory, and placed into
memory. Since purgatory also does an integrity check via hash
digests of the loaded segments, purgatory must also be updated
with the new digests.
Once the new elfcorehdr and purgatory contents are fully prepared
and no errors occur, they are installed over the top of the
existing segments. As a result, no changes to boot_params are
needed as the elfcorehdr= kernel command line parameter pointer
remains unchanged and correct.)
To accommodate a growing number of resources via hotplug, the
elfcorehdr segment must be sufficiently large enough to accommodate
changes, see the CRASH_HOTPLUG_ELFCOREHDR_SZ configure item. The
purgatory segment was already properly sized at load time.
NOTE that this only supports kexec_file_load. Support for
kexec_load is not possible since the userland-supplied purgatory
segment is a binary blob that can not readily be decoded so as to
be updated with the new hash digests.
