[PATCH v2] xen: add support for crash dump analysis with xen.efi



Today it is not possible to analyse crash dumps of a system in
hypervisor mode when it had been booted via EFI, as the crash utility
doesn't understand the file format of xen.efi.

This can easily be solved by creating an ELF file from xen.efi via
objcopy. Using that file as name list for crash enables the user to
analyse the dump in hypervisor mode. Note that crash isn't happy with
a file containing no text and data, so using --only-keep-debug is not
an option.
