On ARM64 based VMs hotplugging more than 31GB of memory will cause
kdump to fail loading as it's hitting the CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES
limit which is currently 32 on ARM64 given that the memory block size
is 1GB. This patch is raising CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES
to 32K similar to what we have on x86, this should allow
kdump to work until the VM has 32TB which should be
enough for a long time.

When crashkernel is reserved above 4G in memory, kernel should
reserve some amount of low memory for swiotlb and some DMA buffers.
So there may be two crash kernel regions, one is below 4G, the other
is above 4G.
Currently, there is only one crash kernel region on arm64, and pass
"linux,usable-memory-range = <BASE SIZE>" property to crash dump
kernel.
Now, we pass "linux,usable-memory-range = <BASE1 SIZE1 BASE2 SIZE2>"
to crash dump kernel to support two crash kernel regions and load crash
kernel high. Make the low memory region as the second range "BASE2 SIZE2"
to keep compatibility with existing user-space and older kdump kernels.

On arm64, we can use the same kernel image as 1st kernel, but
we have to modify the entry point as well as segments' addresses
in the kernel's elf header in order to load them into correct places.

Elf core header contains the information necessary for the coredump of
the 1st kernel, including its physcal memory layout as well as cpu register
states at the panic.
The segment is allocated inside the reserved memory of crash dump kernel.

The following regions need to be identified for later use:
a) memory regions which belong to the 1st kernel
b) usable memory reserved for crash dump kernel
We go through /proc/iomem to find out a) and b) which are marked
as "System RAM" and "Crash kernel", respectively.
