We have a lot of variables that are used to hold kernel mapping addresses,
offsets between physical and virtual mappings and some others used for XIP
kernels: they are all defined at different places in mm/init.c, so group
them into a single structure with, for some of them, more explicit and concise
names.

This patch adds support for kdump, the kernel will reserve a
region for the crash kernel and jump there on panic. In order
for userspace tools (kexec-tools) to prepare the crash kernel
kexec image, we also need to expose some information on
/proc/iomem for the memory regions used by the kernel and for
the region reserved for crash kernel. Note that on userspace
the device tree is used to determine the system's memory
layout so the "System RAM" on /proc/iomem is ignored.
I tested this on riscv64 qemu and works as expected, you may
test it by triggering a crash through /proc/sysrq_trigger:
echo c > /proc/sysrq_trigger

This patch adds support for kexec on RISC-V. On SMP systems it depends
on HOTPLUG_CPU in order to be able to bring up all harts after kexec.
It also needs a recent OpenSBI version that supports the HSM extension.
I tested it on riscv64 QEMU on both an smp and a non-smp system.
