kexec: extend for large cpu count and memory
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.
