Now that kexec_walk_memblock() can do the crash-kernel placement itself
architectures that don't support kdump via kexe_file_load() need to
explicitly forbid it.
We don't support this on arm64 until the kernel can add the elfcorehdr
and usable-memory-range fields to the DT. Without these the crash-kernel
overwrites the previous kernel's memory during startup.
Add a check to refuse crash image loading.

With this patch, kernel verification can be done without IMA security
subsystem enabled. Turn on CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG instead.
On x86, a signature is embedded into a PE file (Microsoft's format) header
of binary. Since arm64's "Image" can also be seen as a PE file as far as
CONFIG_EFI is enabled, we adopt this format for kernel signing.
You can create a signed kernel image with:
$ sbsign --key ${KEY} --cert ${CERT} Image

This patch provides kexec_file_ops for "Image"-format kernel. In this
implementation, a binary is always loaded with a fixed offset identified
in text_offset field of its header.
Regarding signature verification for trusted boot, this patch doesn't
contains CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG support, which is to be added later
in this series, but file-attribute-based verification is still a viable
option by enabling IMA security subsystem.
You can sign(label) a to-be-kexec'ed kernel image on target file system
with:
$ evmctl ima_sign --key /path/to/private_key.pem Image
On live system, you must have IMA enforced with, at least, the following
security policy:
"appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=imasig"
