On s390 we do not create page tables at all for the crashkernel memory.
This requires a s390 specific version for kimage_load_crash_segment().
Therefore this patch declares this function as "__weak". The s390 version is
very simple. It just copies the kexec segment to real memory without using
page tables:

int kimage_load_crash_segment(struct kimage *image,
                              struct kexec_segment *segment)
{
        return copy_from_user_real((void *) segment->mem, segment->buf,
                                   segment->bufsz);
}

There are two main advantages of not creating page tables for the
crashkernel memory:

a) It saves memory. We have scenarios in mind, where crashkernel
   memory can be very large and saving page table space is important.
b) We protect the crashkernel memory from being overwritten.
