For ppc64(le), the default behavior of kexec always copy "root=" param,
but if dump target is ssh, there will no tools installed in kdump
rd, which help to mount root. As a result, kdump service will fail to
start. So explicitly disable the default behavior with --dt_no_old_root
option.

"quiet" will disable most of log messages. For debugging kdump
kernel purpose it is better to remove quiet in 2nd kernel so that
we always see kernel messages.

Use KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_REMOVE config instead of hardcode them in
kdumpctl, which makes it possible system admins decide what params to
remove such as "quiet" or other debug flags.
This patch also adds backward compatibility even if an old config is
used. It will behave the same as the old version.

Previously /boot is asumed as the default dir where kernel and initrd
is put. However, the directory containing the running kernel image
on Atomic systems differs in each installation. Usually something like:
/boot/ostree/rhel-atomic-host-b50a015b637c353dc6554c851f8a1212b60d6121a7316715e4a63e2a4113cd72
This means that kdump will not find vmlinuz when installed on an
Atomic host, and thus the kdump service will fail to start.
In this patch, the kdump boot dir finding behaviour is a little changed.
Firstly check whether user has specify a directory explicitly in
/etc/sysconfig/kdump. If yes that is respected. Otherwise we assume
1st kernel and kdump kernel are put in the same place under /boot.
Then find it according /proc/cmdline and append it to /boot/
Note:
So now the KDUMP_BOOTDIR in /etc/sysconfig/kdump is set as empty
by default. If user set KDUMP_BOOTDIR to a directory, then he need to
take care of all related things himself. otherwise kdump script handle
it automatically.

By default on powerpc platform, kvm will reserve a relatively large CMA
(128M aligned) at early boot. In kdump kernel, even KVM sounds useless
but still it reserves 128M and makes kdump kernel fail to boot.
Now fix this by adding the following to kernel command line:
"kvm_cma_resv_ratio=0"
which disable the CMA reservation.

kdump.sysconfig.ppc64le is copied from kdump.sysconfig.ppc64. The
default sysconfig won't work for ppc64le.
