[PATCH] kexec: x86_64: add CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START
For one kernel to report a crash another kernel has created we need
to have 2 kernels loaded simultaneously in memory. To accomplish this
the two kernels need to built to run at different physical addresses.
This patch adds the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option to the x86_64 kernel
so we can do just that. You need to know what you are doing and
the ramifications are before changing this value, and most users
won't care so I have made it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
bzImage kernels will work and run at a different address when compiled
with this option but they will still load at 1MB. If you need a kernel
loaded at a different address as well you need to boot a vmlinux.
