powerpc/fadump: Annotate endianness cast with __force

Sparse reports an endianness error with the else case of

val = (cpu_endian ? be64_to_cpu(reg_entry->reg_val) :
(u64)(reg_entry->reg_val));

This is a safe operation because the code is explicitly working with
dynamic endianness, so add the __force annotation to tell Sparse to
ignore it.

powerpc/fadump: Fix fadump to work with a different endian capture kernel

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.

powerpc/fadump: support holes in kernel boot memory area

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.

powerpc/fadump: consider f/w load area

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.

powerpc/opalcore: export /sys/firmware/opal/core for analysing opal crashes

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).

powerpc/fadump: process architected register state data provided by firmware

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.

powerpc/fadump: register kernel metadata address with opal

OPAL allows registering address with it in the first kernel and
retrieving it after MPIPL. Setup kernel metadata and register its
address with OPAL to use it for processing the crash dump.
