[PATCH v2 4/5] LoongArch/kexec_file: Add crash dump support

From: Youling Tang <tangyouling at kylinos.cn>
Enabling crash dump (kdump) includes:
- Prepare contents of ELF header of a core dump file, /proc/vmcore,
using crash_prepare_elf64_headers().
- Add "elfcorehdr=size at start" to cmdline.
- Add the "mem=size at start" parameter to the command line and pass it to
the capture kernel. Limit the runtime memory area of the captured
kernel to avoid disrupting the production kernel's runtime state.
