Kairui Song b998b90197 kdump.sysconfig/x86_64: Disable HEST by default
Some firmware will provide a ACPI HEST table with massive amount of
entries, and the way how kernel handles these entries will consume a lot
of memory which will lead to OOM issue in kdump kernel. During testing
on certain machine, disable HEST saved ~60M of memory.

Kdump is only for emergency use in case of a kernel panic, so temporarily
disable hardware error report & recovery related feature is acceptable
in general. So disable HEST support in kdump kernel to save memory.

Currently such issue is only observed on x86_64, so limit this change to
x86_64 only.
