Subject: [PATCH 01/11] kexec_file: allow archs to handle special regions
 while locating memory hole

Some archs can have special memory regions, within the given memory
range, which can't be used for the buffer in a kexec segment. As
kexec_add_buffer() function is being called from generic code as well,
add weak arch_kexec_add_buffer definition for archs to override & take
care of special regions before trying to locate a memory hole.
