[RFC v4 PATCH 5/5] powerpc/crash hp: add crash hotplug support for kexec_load

The kernel changes needed for crash hotplug support for kexec_load system
calls are similar to kexec_file_load (which has already been implemented
in earlier patches) except for finding the index of the FDT segment in the
kexec segment array. Since the kexec segment array is prepared by the
kexec tool in the userspace, the kernel is not aware of at which index FDT
segment is present.

Now to enable crash hotplug support for the kexec_load case, the crash
hotplug handler is updated to identify the index at which the FDT segment
is present in the kexec segment array by comparing the first 32 bits of
every kexec segment with the FDT magic number.
