crash_core: add generic function to do reservation
In architecture like x86_64, arm64 and riscv, they have vast virtual address space and usually have huge physical memory RAM. Their crashkernel reservation doesn't have to be limited under 4G RAM, but can be extended to the whole physical memory via crashkernel=,high support. Now add function reserve_crashkernel_generic() to reserve crashkernel memory if users specify any case of kernel pamameters, like crashkernel=xM[@offset] or crashkernel=,high|low. This is preparation to simplify code of crashkernel=,high support in architecutures.
