[RFC PATCH 2/7] kexec: Hack and abuse crashkernel for the kstate's migration stream

This is an early ugly hack just for now. Will be completely redone later.
This abuses crashkernel segment of memory for the kstate purposes to
save and restore object descriptions.
The proper solution probably would be using segments in ordinary kexec
mechanism, however since kstate requires such segments very late
(at reboot stage, not the load stage) some thought and work will be
required to make that happen. The KEXEC_FILE_MIGRATE/KEXEC_TYPE_MIGRATE flags
also likely won't be required.
