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.

command line size is restricted by kernel, sometimes memmap=exactmap has
too many memory ranges to pass to cmdline. And also memmap=exactmap and
kASLR doesn't work together.
A better approach, to pass the memory ranges for crash kernel to boot
into, is filling the memory ranges into E820.
boot_params only got 128 slots for E820 map to fit in, when the number of
memory map exceeds 128, use setup_data to pass the rest as extended E820
memory map.
kexec boot could also benefit from setup_data in case E820 memory map
exceeds 128.
Now this new approach becomes default instead of memmap=exactmap.
saved_max_pfn users can specify --pass-memmap-cmdline to use the
exactmap approach.

For supporting efi runtime on kexec kernel we need to
fill the efi_info struct in setup_header. I just get
the info in kernel exported boot_params data in debugfs.

There's build warnings about using struct x86_linux_param_header *
in x86-linux-setup.h, it is declared in x86-linux.h
Fix it by include x86-linux.h in x86-linux-setup.h

We could put ramdisk/cmdline above for bzImage on 64bit for protocol 2.12.

At first, we have already filled the kexec_info.memory_ranges by
calling my_load() -> get_memory_ranges(). So if we want to
get the memory information, we could just use the existing
one instead of calling get_memory_ranges again.

To support memory backup/restore an option named
--load-preserve-context is added to kexec. When it is specified
toggether with --mem-max, most segments for crash dump support are
loaded, and the memory range between mem_min to mem_max which has no
segments loaded are loaded as backup segments. To support jump back
from kexeced, options named --load-jump-back-helper and --entry are
added to load a helper image with specified entry to jump back.

o This patch adds support for reserving space for backup region. Also adds code
in purgatory to copy the first 640K to backup region.
o Moved kexec_flags inside kexec_info structure.
