Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.

This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels

which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
|
||||||
|
a specially reserved region and then later executed after
|
||||||

a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
|

to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
|

PHYSICAL_START.
