Under loongson platform,use command:
kexec -l vmlinux... --append="root=UUID=28e1..." --initrd=...
kexec -e
quick restart failed like this:

For compatibility with previous platforms,
loongson platform obtain the initrd parameter through cmdline in kernel,
and the kernel also supports the use of cmdline to parse initrd.
But under the mips architecture, kexec-tools pass the initrd through DTB.
So some modifications are made as follows:

(1) in kexec/arch/mips/kexec-elf-mips.c
    Add patch_initrd_info() function, at runtime to distinguish different platforms.
    Only for loongson platform, add initrd parameter to cmdline.

(2) in kexec/arch/mips/crashdump-mips.c
    Because loongson uses a different page_offset,
    it should be modified to ensure that crashdump functionality is correct and reliable.
