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
