powerpc/fadump: setup additional parameters for dump capture kernel

For fadump case, passing additional parameters to dump capture kernel
helps in minimizing the memory footprint for it and also provides the
flexibility to disable components/modules, like hugepages, that are
hindering the boot process of the special dump capture environment.

Set up a dedicated parameter area to be passed to the capture kernel.
This area type is defined as RTAS_FADUMP_PARAM_AREA. Sysfs attribute
'/sys/kernel/fadump/bootargs_append' is exported to the userspace to
specify the additional parameters to be passed to the capture kernel
