[PATCH v32 07/13] arm64: hibernate: preserve kdump image around hibernation

Hi Akashi,

Since arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() removes a mapping for crash dump
kernel memory, the loaded contents won't be preserved around hibernation.

In this patch, arch_kexec_(un)protect_crashkres() are additionally called
before/after hibernation so that the relevant region will be mapped again
and restored just as the other memory regions are.

A quick test of this took longer than expected (writing to a slow usb device), I
suspect it is save/restoring the whole crash region (which I don't think is a
problem). If someone turns out to use this combination of features I will look
at improving this, (almost certainly requires core-code changes).


Thanks,

James
