Maneesh Soni 05970d476f [PATCH] kexec: change CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START dependency
I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
option and also some objections about its dependency on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
The following patch ends that dependency.  I thought of hiding it under
CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons
other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible.  I will also update the
documentation accordingly.

o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START
  on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for
  kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend
  on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose
  CONFIG_EMBEDDED.

o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer
  to kexec and kdump options.
