Subject: [PATCH 1/1] - platform_kernel_launch_event is noop on generic kernel

Add a missing #define for the platform_kernel_launch_event.
Without this fix, a call to platform_kernel_launch_event()
becomes a noop on generic kernels. SN systems require this
fix to successfully kdump/kexec from certain hardware errors.

I made a similar change when porting to xen, but I hadn't thought
to see if mainline linux needs it to.
