[PATCH v6 06/14] loongarch/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

From: Eric DeVolder
Date: Wed Jul 12 2023 - 12:17:22 EST


The kexec and crash kernel options are provided in the common
kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Utilize the common options and provide
the ARCH_SUPPORTS_ and ARCH_SELECTS_ entries to recreate the
equivalent set of KEXEC and CRASH options.

- kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
- current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
- but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
- you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.

- Generate crash dump after being started by kexec. This should
