[PATCH v11 4/4] powerpc/crash: add crash memory hotplug support

Extend PowerPC arch crash hotplug handler to support memory hotplug
events. Since elfcorehdr is used to exchange the memory info between the
kernels hence it needs to be recreated to reflect the changes due to
memory hotplug events.
The way memory hotplug events are handled on PowerPC and the notifier
call chain used in generic code to trigger the arch crash handler, the
process to recreate the elfcorehdr is different for memory add and
remove case.
For memory remove case the memory change notifier call chain is
triggered first and then memblock regions is updated. Whereas for the
memory hot add case, memblock regions are updated before invoking the
memory change notifier call chain.
On PowerPC, memblock regions list is used to prepare the elfcorehdr. In
case of memory hot remove the memblock regions are updated after the
arch crash hotplug handler is triggered, hence an additional step is
taken to ensure that memory ranges used to prepare elfcorehdr do not
include hot removed memory.
When memory is hot removed it possible that memory regions count may
increase. So to accommodate a growing number of memory regions, the
elfcorehdr kexec segment is built with additional buffer space.
The changes done here will also work for the kexec_load system call given
that the kexec tool builds the elfcoredhr with additional space to
accommodate future memory regions as it is done for kexec_file_load
system call in the kernel.
