mips/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec
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.

The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.

|

It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
|
||||
is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
|
||||
initially work for you. As of this writing the exact hardware
|
||||
interface is strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be

made.

Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
|

This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
|
||||
which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
|
||||
a specially reserved region and then later executed after
|
||||
a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
|
||||
to a memory address not used by the main kernel or firmware using
|
||||
PHYSICAL_START.
