In kexec case, the kernel to be loaded uses the same memory layout as the running kernel. So, passing on the DT of the running kernel would be good enough. But in case of kdump, different memory ranges are needed to manage loading the kdump kernel, booting into it and exporting the elfcore of the crashing kernel. The ranges are exclude memory ranges, usable memory ranges, reserved memory ranges and crash memory ranges. Exclude memory ranges specify the list of memory ranges to avoid while loading kdump segments. Usable memory ranges list the memory ranges that could be used for booting kdump kernel. Reserved memory ranges list the memory regions for the loading kernel's reserve map. Crash memory ranges list the memory ranges to be exported as the crashing kernel's elfcore. Add helper functions for setting up the above mentioned memory ranges. This helpers facilitate in understanding the subsequent changes better and make it easy to setup the different memory ranges listed above, as and when appropriate.
