When there is CPU/memory hot-plugging, the kdump kernel image and initrd
will be reloaded. The user space can write the "reuse" command to
/sys/kernel/crash_dm_crypt_key so the stored keys can be re-saved again.

Note currently only x86 (commit ea53ad9cf73b ("x86/crash: add x86 crash
hotplug support")) and ppc (WIP) supports the new infrastructure
(commit 247262756121 ("crash: add generic infrastructure for crash
hotplug support")). If the new infrastructure get extended to all arches,
this patch can be dropped.

I don't see the corresponging arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() in the
following flow. Aren't they a pair when used?

Thanks for raising the concern! The user space is supposed to load the
kdump kernel as next step. But for code readability and security, it's
better to add arch_kexec_protect_crashkres.
