      <pre wrap="">With fadump (dump capture) kernel booting like a regular kernel, it needs
almost the same amount of memory to boot as the production kernel, which is
unwarranted for a dump capture kernel. But with no option to disable some
of the unnecessary subsystems in fadump kernel, that much memory is wasted
on fadump, depriving the production kernel of that memory.

Introduce kernel parameter 'fadump_extra_args=' that would take regular
parameters as a space separated quoted string, to be enforced when fadump
is active. This 'fadump_extra_args=' parameter can be leveraged to pass
parameters like nr_cpus=1, cgroup_disable=memory and numa=off, to disable
unwarranted resources/subsystems.

Also, ensure the log "Firmware-assisted dump is active" is printed early
in the boot process to put the subsequent fadump messages in context.

Changes from v6:
Correct and simplify quote handling. Ideally I would like to extend
parse_args to give the length of the original quoted value to callback.
However, parse_args removes at most one doubel-quote from the start and
one from the end so that is easy to detect. Otherwise all other users
will have to be updated to trash the new argument.
Changes from v7:
Handle leading quote in parameter name.
