Subject: [PATCH v3 14/21] kexec, elf: introduce NT_VMCORE_DEBUGINFO note type

This patch introduces NT_VMCORE_DEBUGINFO to a unique note type in
VMCOREINFO name, which has had no name so far. The name means that
it's a kind of note type in vmcoreinfo that contains system kernel's
debug information.
