[PATCH] kexec-ppc: fix for ksysfs crash_notes
The following patch prevents the crash dump helper code found within kexec
from breaking ppc which still lacks crash dump functionality.
ksysfs crash_notes attribute handling was left under CONFIG_KEXEC for
simplicity although it is not strictly kexec related.
We provide here a dummy definition for crash_notes on ppc.
