[PATCH] powerpc: Add arch dependent basic infrastructure for Kdump.
Implementing the machine_crash_shutdown which will be called by
crash_kexec (called in case of a panic, sysrq etc.). Disable the
interrupts, shootdown cpus using debugger IPI and collect regs
for all CPUs.
elfcorehdr= specifies the location of elf core header stored by
the crashed kernel. This command line option will be passed by
the kexec-tools to capture kernel.
savemaxmem= specifies the actual memory size that the first kernel
has and this value will be used for dumping in the capture kernel.
This command line option will be passed by the kexec-tools to
capture kernel.
