[PATCH] Reserve memory for kdump kernel within RMO region

Reserve memory for kdump kernel within RMO region

When the kernel size exceeds 32MB(observed with some distros), memory
for kdump kernel can not be reserved as kdump kernel base is assumed to
be 32MB always. When the kernel has CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option enabled,
provide the feature to reserve the memory for kdump kernel anywhere in
the RMO region.
