[PATCH v9 6/6] powerpc/kexec: 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 events.
In the memory hot remove case, the memory region is first marked offline
then the notifier call chain is triggered (same is used to initiate arch
crash hotplug handler) and at last the memblock structure is updated.
Whereas in the memory hot add case, memblock regions is updated before
invoking the notifier call chain.
On PowerPC, memblock regions list is used to prepare the elfcorehdr. In
case of memory hot remove the memblock structure is 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. Whereas no such extra step is taken for
while preparing elfcorehdr for memory add case.
The hot removed memory is explicitly removed from the crash memory ranges
and then elfcorehdr is prepared.
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.
