Vivek Goyal cc57165874 [PATCH] kdump: dynamic per cpu allocation of memory for saving cpu registers ...

- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory
  in elf note format.  So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated
  statically for NR_CPUS.

- This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes.
  It uses alloc_percpu() interface.  This should lead to better memory usage.

- Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions.

- This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture
  dependent portion to architecture independent portion.  Now crash_notes is
  architecture independent.  The whole idea is that size of memory to be
  allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and
  allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.
