[patch] kdump: sh: parse elfcorehdr command line argument

From: Simon Horman
Date: Tue Jul 29 2008 - 20:29:51 EST


A quick cut and paste from other architectures to allow SH
to parse the elfcorehdr command line argument which is required
for both is_kdump_kernel() and vmcore to function.
(the former is as yet unused on SH).

Tested compilation only
