Dump capture would fail if capture kernel is not of the endianess as the
production kernel, because the in-memory data structure (struct
opal_fadump_mem_struct) shared across production kernel and capture
kernel assumes the same endianess for both the kernels, which doesn't
have to be true always. Fix it by having a well-defined endianess for
struct opal_fadump_mem_struct.

Some functions defined in 'arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv' are
deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are only
called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit
the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

With support to copy multiple kernel boot memory regions owing to copy
size limitation, also handle holes in the memory area to be preserved.
Support as many as 128 kernel boot memory regions. This allows having
an adequate FADump capture kernel size for different scenarios.

OPAL loads kernel & initrd at 512MB offset (256MB size), also exported
as ibm,opal/dump/fw-load-area. So, if boot memory size of FADump is
less than 768MB, kernel memory to be exported as '/proc/vmcore' would
be overwritten by f/w while loading kernel & initrd. To avoid such a
scenario, enforce a minimum boot memory size of 768MB on OPAL platform
and skip using FADump if a newer F/W version loads kernel & initrd
above 768MB.
Also, irrespective of RMA size, set the minimum boot memory size
expected on pseries platform at 320MB. This is to avoid inflating the
minimum memory requirements on systems with 512M/1024M RMA size.

Export /sys/firmware/opal/core file to analyze opal crashes. Since OPAL
core can be generated independent of CONFIG_FA_DUMP support in kernel,
add this support under a new kernel config option CONFIG_OPAL_CORE.
Also, avoid code duplication by moving common code used while exporting
/proc/vmcore and/or /sys/firmware/opal/core file(s).

Add a new kernel config option, CONFIG_PRESERVE_FA_DUMP that ensures
that crash data, from previously crash'ed kernel, is preserved. This
helps in cases where FADump is not enabled but the subsequent memory
preserving kernel boot is likely to process this crash data. One
typical usecase for this config option is petitboot kernel.
As OPAL allows registering address with it in the first kernel and
retrieving it after MPIPL, use it to store the top of boot memory.
A kernel that intends to preserve crash data retrieves it and avoids
using memory beyond this address.
Move arch_reserved_kernel_pages() function as it is needed for both
FA_DUMP and PRESERVE_FA_DUMP configurations.

Firmware provides architected register state data at the time of crash.
Process this data and build CPU notes to append to ELF core. In case
this data is missing or in unsupported format, at least append crashing
CPU's register data, to have something to work with in the vmcore file.

Firmware uses a 32-bit field for size while copying/backing-up memory
during MPIPL. So, the maximum value that could be represented with
a PAGE_SIZE aligned 32-bit field will be the maximum copy size for a
region but FADump capture kernel usually needs more memory than that
to be preserved to avoid running into out of memory errors.
So, request firmware to copy multiple kernel boot memory regions
instead of just one (which worked fine for pseries as 64-bit field
was used for size there).
