mips: reserve elfcorehdr
/proc/vmcore wasn't showing up in kdump kernels. It turns that that
for Octeon, the memory used by elfcorehdr wasn't being set aside
properly and it was getting clobbered before /proc/vmcore could get
it. So reserve the memory if it shows up in a memory area managed
by the kernel.
