Petr Tesarik 3db3eb2852 x86/setup: Do not reserve a crash kernel region if booted on Xen PV
Xen PV domains cannot shut down and start a crash kernel. Instead,
the crashing kernel makes a SCHEDOP_shutdown hypercall with the
reason code SHUTDOWN_crash, cf. xen_crash_shutdown() machine op in
arch/x86/xen/enlighten_pv.c.

A crash kernel reservation is merely a waste of RAM in this case. It
may also confuse users of kexec_load(2) and/or kexec_file_load(2).
When flags include KEXEC_ON_CRASH or KEXEC_FILE_ON_CRASH,
respectively, these syscalls return success, which is technically
correct, but the crash kexec image will never be actually used.
