There's actually a complication that I just noticed and needs to be
addressed. More below.

Just adding 4 KB to initial_boot_params won't be enough for crash
kernels on ppc64. The current powerpc code doubles the size of
initial_boot_params (which is normally larger than 4 KB) and even that
isn't enough. A patch was added to powerpc/next today which uses a more
precise (but arch-specific) formula:

https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/161243826811.119001.14083048209224609814.stgit@hbathini/

So I believe we need a hook here where architectures can provide their
own specific calculation for the size of the fdt. Perhaps a weakly
defined function providing a default implementation which an
arch-specific file can override (a la arch_kexec_kernel_image_load())?

Then the powerpc specific hook would be the kexec_fdt_totalsize_ppc64()
function from the patch I linked above.
