[PATCH] Kexec / Kdump: Unify elf note code

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.

 Applies on top of linux-2.6.19.
 Builds on i386 and x86_64.
