Subject: [RFC v1 6/8] crash hp: Add x86 crash hotplug state items to kimage

To facilitate hotplug updates of the crash elfcorehdr, a few members
are added to the kimage arch struct.

The indices of the elfcorehdr and purgatory segments are recorded
here so that upon a hotplug event, those segments can be efficiently
located and updated accordingly.

The purgatory image also requires a few register context values in
order to transition from purgatory to the next/capture kernel.
