[PATCH] kdump: x86_64: add elfcorehdr command line option
- elfcorehdr= specifies the location of elf core header stored by the
crashed kernel. This command line option will be passed by the kexec-tools
to capture kernel.
Changes in this version :
- Added more comments in kernel-parameters.txt and in code.
