crash: let arch decide usable memory range in reserved area
Although the crashkernel area is reserved, on architectures like PowerPC,
it is possible for the crashkernel reserved area to contain components
like RTAS, TCE, OPAL, etc. To avoid placing kexec segments over these
components, PowerPC has its own set of APIs to locate holes in the
crashkernel reserved area.
Add an arch hook in the generic locate mem hole APIs so that architectures
can handle such special regions in the crashkernel area while locating
memory holes for kexec segments using generic APIs. With this, a lot of
redundant arch-specific code can be removed, as it performs the exact same
job as the generic APIs.
To keep the generic and arch-specific changes separate, the changes
related to moving PowerPC to use the generic APIs and the removal of
PowerPC-specific APIs for memory hole allocation are done in a subsequent
patch titled "powerpc/crash: Use generic APIs to locate memory hole for
kdump.
