[PATCH 3/5] ia64: Define elfcorehdr_addr in arch dependent section

[Vivek Goyal]

o Move elfcorehdr_addr definition in arch dependent crash dump file. This is
  equivalent to defining elfcorehdr_addr under CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP instead of
  CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. This is needed by is_kdump_kernel() which can be
  used irrespective of the fact whether CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is enabled or
  not.
