[PATCH 2/2][V3] kexec-tools: create a new linux, drconf-usable-memory property

Add a new linux,drconf-usable-memory property to the device tree. This property stores the usable memory regions for kexec/kdump kernel. The other changes to kexec-tools which do not affect the kernel are not attached here.  These are the changes to kexec-tools. Patch 1/2 are the changes in kernel.
