Commit Message

Enabling crash dump (kdump) includes
* prepare contents of ELF header of a core dump file, /proc/vmcore,
  using crash_prepare_elf64_headers(), and
* add two device tree properties, "linux,usable-memory-range" and
  "linux,elfcorehdr", which represent respectively a memory range
  to be used by crash dump kernel and the header's location

With commit c19d050f8088 ("arm64/kexec: Use consistent convention of 
initializing 'kxec_buf.mem' with KEXEC_BUF_MEM_UNKNOWN"), we are trying 
to standardize the way of setting up initial value of 'kbuf.mem'. So we 
can use the following notion (in v3?) instead:
		kbuf.mem = KEXEC_BUF_MEM_UNKNOWN;

I have forgot to address Bhupesh's comment below in my v3.
I'm going to repost my patch.

Thank you, Bhupesh, for your review.
