From: James Morse <james.morse@xxxxxxx>
Add documentation for
linux,crashkernel-base and crashkernel-size,
linux,elfcorehdr
used by arm64 kexec/kdump to decribe the kdump reserved area, and
the elfcorehdr's location within it.

+----------------------
+
+These properties (currently used on PowerPC and arm64) indicates
+the base address and the size, respectively, of the reserved memory
+range for crash dump kernel.

+
+/ {
+ chosen {

+ linux,crashkernel-size = <0x0 0x10000000>;

+----------------
+
+This property (currently used only on arm64) holds the memory range,
+the address and the size, of the elf core header which mainly describes
+the panicked kernel's memory layout as PT_LOAD segments of elf format.
+e.g.
+
+/ {
+ chosen {
+ linux,elfcorehdr = <0x9 0xfffff000 0x0 0x800>;
