Subject: [patch] kdump: sh: parse elfcorehdr command line argument

A quick cut and paste from other architectures to allow SH
to parse the elfcorehdr command line argument which is required
for both is_kdump_kernel() and vmcore to function.
(the former is as yet unused on SH).

Tested compilation only
