[PATCH] kdump documentation update to introduce use of irqpoll

o Specify "irqpoll" command line option which loading second kernel. This
  helps in reducing driver initialization failures in second kernel due
  to shared interrupts.
o Enabled LAPIC/IOAPIC support for UP kernels in second kernel. This reduces
  the chances of devices sharing the irq and hence reduces the chances of
  driver initialization failures in second kernel.
o Build a UP capture kernel and disabled SMP support.
