[PATCH v2 2/6] crashdump: introduce the hotplug command line options

[Eric DeVolder <eric.devolder@oracle.com>]

Introducing the --hotplug and --elfcorehdrsz command line options,
which are used to indicate to the kernel that the kdump image
is setup to permit the kernel to directly modify the elfcorehdr in
response to CPU and memory hotplug and/or online/offline events.

This option is only meaningful for kexec_load() syscall. For the
kexec_file_load() syscall, this option is a no-op as the kernel
handles all aspects of loading the kdump image.

This change is just the command line processing portion; the handling
of hotplug is in the subsequent patches.
