kexec: support for kexec on panic using new system call
This patch adds support for loading a kexec on panic (kdump) kernel usning
new system call.
It prepares ELF headers for memory areas to be dumped and for saved cpu
registers. Also prepares the memory map for second kernel and limits its
boot to reserved areas only.
