When a crash kernel is loaded via the kexec_file_load() syscall, the
kernel places the various segments (ie crash kernel, crash initrd,
boot_params, elfcorehdr, purgatory, etc) in memory. For those
architectures that utilize purgatory, a hash digest of the segments
is calculated for integrity checking. The digest is embedded into
the purgatory image prior to placing in memory.

Updates to the elfcorehdr in response to CPU and memory changes
would cause the purgatory integrity checking to fail (at crash time,
and no vmcore created). Therefore, the elfcorehdr segment is
explicitly excluded from the purgatory digest, enabling updates to
the elfcorehdr while also avoiding the need to recompute the hash
digest and reload purgatory.
