Since linux kernel has dropped support for simple firmware interface
(SFI), the only way of boot newer versions on intel MID platform is
using devicetree

On x86 RSDP is fundamental for booting the machine. When second kernel
is incapable of parsing the RSDP address (eg. kexec next kernel on an EFI
system with EFI service disabled), kexec should prepare the RSDP address
for second kernel.
Introduce helpers for getting RSDP from multiple sources, including boot
params and EFI firmware.
For legacy BIOS interface, there is no better way to find the RSDP address
rather than scanning the memory region and search for it, and this will
always be done by the kernel as a fallback, so this is no need to try to
get the RSDP address for that case.

After commit 060eee58 "x86: use old screen_info if needed", kexec-tools
will force use old screen_info and vga type if failed to determine
current vga type. But it is not always a good idea.
Currently kernel hanging is inspected on some hyper-v VMs after this
commit, because hyperv_fb will mimic EFI (or VESA) VGA on first boot
up, but after the real driver is loaded, it will switch to new mode
and no longer compatible with EFI/VESA VGA. Keep setting
orig_video_isVGA to EFI/VESA VGA flag will get wrong driver loaded and
try to manipulate the framebuffer in a wrong way.
We can't ensure this won't happen on other framebuffer drivers, But
it's a helpful feature if the framebuffer drivers just work. So this
patch introduce a --reuse-video-type options to let user decide if the
old screen_info hould be used unconditional or not.

We got a problem on one SGI 64TB machine, the current kexec-tools
failed to work due to the insufficient ranges(MAX_MEMORY_RANGES)
allowed which is defined as 1024(less than the ranges on the machine).
The kcore header is insufficient due to the same reason as well.
To solve this, this patch simply doubles "MAX_MEMORY_RANGES" and
"KCORE_ELF_HEADERS_SIZE".

For kernel boot with efi=old_map or some quirked machines like SGI UV
they use old ioremap instead of 1:1 mapping. But kexec efi support
depends on the 1:1 mapping thus we need to switch to use the old way
There's a kernel patch for exporting the efi flags so we can check the memory
mapping method. But user may want to explictly disable efi boot for unknown
reasons.
So here add a new arch option '--noefi' for this case.

--pass-memmap-cmdline is used for pass memmap=exactmap cmdline for 2nd
kernel. Later we will use this option to disable passing E820 memmap
method but use the old exactmap method.

Currently the debugging code is under #ifdef DEBUG, which
means when we want to debug, we have to re-compile the source
code with -DDEBUG. This is not convenient, we want to have
a generic --debug option so that we can enable debugging code
without re-compiling.
This patch moves the arch-specific --debug to generic place
and moves code under #ifdef DEBUG to --debug on x86.
BTW, the size of kexec binary increases very little after this patch.

The MAX_MEMORY_RANGES of 64 is too small for a very large NUMA machine.
(A 512 processor SGI UV, for example.)
And fix a temporary workaround (hack) in load_crashdump_segments() that
assumes that 16k is sufficient for the size of the crashdump elf header.
This is too small for a machine with a large cpu count. A PT_NOTE is created
in the elf header for each cpu.

On i386, kexec generates ELF64 core headers by default if the user doesn't
override this via a command line option. Because GDB cannot analyse
ELF64 core dumps on 32 bit platforms, it's a bad idea to use ELF64 if it's not
needed.
This patch selects ELF32 if the biggest memory address fits in 32 bit address
space, which should be the case on non PAE systems. If the user specifies
a command line option, that option overrides the detection.

o Creates a segment for storing elf headers.
o Creates Elf headers for dump capture.
o Functionality to modify command line internally. (Appending elfcorehdr= and
user defined memory map, memap=exactmap).
o Adds command line option to choose between ELF32 and ELF64 headers for core.
o As of today, gdb does not open ELF64 core file for i386 systems. So for
users who don't have PAE systems, can generate ELF32 headers by specifying
--elf32-core-headers on kexec command line. --elf64-core-headers forces
generation of ELF64 headers. ELF64 headers are generated by default.
