If the "etc/vmcoreinfo" fw_cfg file is present and we are not running
the kdump kernel, write the addr/size of the vmcoreinfo ELF note.
The DMA operation is expected to run synchronously with today qemu,
but the specification states that it may become async, so we run
"control" field check in a loop for eventual changes.

Create a common header file for well-known values and structures to be
shared by the Linux kernel with qemu or other projects.
It is based from qemu/docs/specs/fw_cfg.txt which references
qemu/include/hw/nvram/fw_cfg_keys.h "for the most up-to-date and
authoritative list" & vmcoreinfo.txt. Those files don't have an
explicit license, but qemu/hw/nvram/fw_cfg.c is BSD-license, so
Michael S. Tsirkin suggested to use the same license.
The patch intentionally left out DMA & vmcoreinfo structures &
defines, which are added in the commits making usage of it.
