handle kernelcore=: generic
This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for x86.
Once all patches are applied, a new command-line parameter exist and a new
sysctl. This patch adds the necessary documentation.
From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com>
When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64
because of an infinite loop. In addition, the parsing code can be handled
in an architecture-independent manner.
This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter. It is
only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing
(i.e. define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP). Other architectures will
ignore the boot parameter.
