kdump: make elfcorehdr_addr independent of CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. For
example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if
kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table.
So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be
able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup
calgary iommu accordingly.
o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.
o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files.
(Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file
otherwise that would have been the best place).
o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in
second kernel without KEXEC being enabled.
o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for
elfcorehdr_addr. I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh.
Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not
broken on sh.
