Hi Sourabh,
Thanks for the great work. There are some concerns, please see inline
comments.

So finally you add a new KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT flag, that's fine.

Then crash_hotplug_cpu_support is not needed any more on x86_64, and
crash_hotplug_memory_support(), if you remove their implementation in
arch/x86/kernel/crash.c, won't it cause building warning or error on x86?

Do we need add some document to tell why there are two kexec flags on
x86_64, except of checking this patch log?

The code comment doesn't reflect the usage of the flag. You set it too
when it's kexec_file_load. Speaking of this, I do wonder why you need
set it too for kexec_file_load, and why we have
arch_crash_hotplug_support(), then crash_check_hotplug_support() both of
which have the same effect.
