The crash memory alloc, and the exclude of crashk_res, crashk_low_res and crashk_cma memory are almost identical across different architectures, handling them in the crash core would eliminate a lot of duplication, so add crash_prepare_headers() helper to handle them in the common code. To achieve the above goal, three architecture-specific functions are introduced: - arch_get_system_nr_ranges(). Pre-counts the max number of memory ranges. - arch_crash_populate_cmem(). Collects the memory ranges and fills them into cmem. - arch_crash_exclude_ranges(). Architecture's additional crash memory ranges exclusion, defaulting to empty.
