How about keeping an array to track all kexec segment index need to be 
updated in
crash hotplug handler.

struct hp_segment {
    name;
    index;
    is_valid;
  }

It will be helpful if architecture need to updated multiple kexec 
segments  for a hotplug event.

For example, on PowerPC, we might need to update FDT and elfcorehdr on 
memory hot plug/unplug.

Thanks,
Sourabh Jain
