The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several
architectures.  This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and
then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code.

The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support
kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

A tiny userland application loading the kernel and invoking kexec_load for 
mips is available here:

Create two files in /sys/kernel, kexec_loaded and kexec_crash_loaded.  Each
file contains a simple boolean value indicating whether the relevant kernel
has been loaded into memory.  The motivation for this is geared around
support.

It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with
initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location.  When the initrd
region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous.  The
Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write
the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself
and may not be part of the dump.  For example, on powerpc, the initrd is
located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB.  The kexec_load caused
panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB).  We could see
the similar issue even on other archs.

One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region.  But,
the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up.  This patch
fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel
memory in case overlaps.

- In some cases, the number of segments, on a kexec load, exceeds the
  existing cap of 8.  This patch increases the KEXEC_SEGMENT_MAX limit from 8
  to 16.

- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory
  in elf note format.  So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated
  statically for NR_CPUS.

- This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes.
  It uses alloc_percpu() interface.  This should lead to better memory usage.

- Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions.

- This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture
  dependent portion to architecture independent portion.  Now crash_notes is
  architecture independent.  The whole idea is that size of memory to be
  allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and
  allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.

o Following patch provides purely cosmetic changes and corrects CodingStyle
  guide lines related certain issues like below in kexec related files

  o braces for one line "if" statements, "for" loops,
  o more than 80 column wide lines,
  o No space after "while", "for" and "switch" key words

o Changes:
  o take-2: Removed the extra tab before "case" key words.
  o take-3: Put operator at the end of line and space before "*/"
