Though asm/fadump.h is meant to be used by other components dealing with FADump, it also has macros/definitions internal to FADump code. Move them to a new header file used within FADump code. This also makes way for refactoring platform specific FADump code.

I don't like having a header in kernel that's then used in platform code. Because we end up having to do gross things like: arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-core.c:#include "../../kernel/fadump-common.h" arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-fadump.c:#include "../../kernel/fadump-common.h" arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/rtas-fadump.c:#include "../../kernel/fadump-common.h" I'd rather you put the internal bits in arch/powerpc/include/asm/fadump-internal.h cheers
