Chen Minqiang ec5e8461c1 x86: make crashdump works
1. KERNEL_CRASH_DUMP should depends on KERNEL_PROC_KCORE (kexec use it)
2. select crashkernel mem size by totalmem
   mem <= 256M disable crashkernel by default
   mem >= 4G use 256M for crashkernel
   mem >= 8G use 512M for crashkernel
   default use 128M
3. set BOOT_IMAGE in kdump.init
4. resolve a "Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_PLT32" error

Tested on x86_64

Joseph Tingiris 5883b5a1f8 kexec-tools: change kdump.init STOP index
This patch is in a series to allow additional STOP indexes after umount,
so that other block devices may stop cleanly.

kdumpinit is now STOP=90

Philip Prindeville d59cc79e00 kexec-tools: issue warning when dd'ing vmcore
With no warning, it just looks like the box has hung during boot.

We don't want users resetting it without having captured a crashdump.

Daniel Golle 5e4bb476c0 kexec-tools: bump version and add support for crashdump kernel
split kexec-tools into two packages, kexec and kdump.
* kexec to simply execute a new kernel
* kdump is for loading and collecting debris of a crashed kernel with
  support for kdump forensics.

In order to properly support booting into a crashkernel, an init script
as well as UCI configuration has been added.
As modifying the kernel cmdline is required for this to work in x86
platforms use an uci-defaults script to modify /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

To test collecting crash information, use the 'c' sysrq-trigger, ie.
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

This should result in the crash kernel being executed and (depending
on the configution) dmesg and/or vmcore getting saved.

To check if the crash kernel was loaded properly, use the 'status'
command of the kdump init script.
