Hi, All

When kaslr comes in and kdump is broken, it seems about the right time to use
E820 instead of memmap=exactmap to pass memmap for kdump for the default memmap
passing mechanism:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2014-February/011048.html

Unfortunately, saved_max_pfn still got its user out there (calgry pci, it looks
like the only one). So for backward compatibility, I'm introducing a new option
--pass-memmap-cmdline to force kexec-tools to pass memmap=exactmap, the old way.

Any comment is appreciate!

v3->v4:
Linn: check return value of malloc (use xmalloc)
me: fix dbgprintf_mem_range

v2->v3:
Linn:
 - do not free sd (setup_data) buffer
 - reuse code in setup_e820 and setup_e820_ext

v1->v2:

Vivek:
 - Use function instead of macro for dbgprint_mem_range
 - Do not pass reserved memory range for kdump. It could addressed later
   separately.

WANG Chao (4):
  cleanup: add dbgprint_mem_range function
  x86: Store memory ranges globally used for crash kernel to boot into
  x86: add --pass-memmap-cmdline option
  x86: Pass memory range via E820 for kdump
