[PATCH] x86_64: x86_64 add crashdump trigger points

o Start booting into the capture kernel after an Oops if system is in a
  unrecoverable state. System will boot into the capture kernel, if one is
  pre-loaded by the user, and capture the kernel core dump.

o One of the following conditions should be true to trigger the booting of
  capture kernel.
        - panic_on_oops is set.
        - pid of current thread is 0
        - pid of current thread is 1
        - Oops happened inside interrupt context.
