Any parameter passed after '--' in the kernel command-line will not be parsed by the kernel at all, instead it will be passed directly to init process. Currently the kernel appends elfcorehdr=<paddr> to the cmdline passed from kexec load, and if this command-line is used to pass parameters to init process this means that 'elfcorehdr' will not be parsed as a kernel parameter at all which will be a problem for vmcore subsystem since it will know nothing about the location of the ELF structure! Prepending 'elfcorehdr' instead of appending it fixes this problem since it ensures that it always comes before '--' and so it's always parsed as a kernel command-line parameter. Even with this patch things can still go wrong if 'CONFIG_CMDLINE' was also used to embedd a command-line to the crash dump kernel and this command-line contains '--' since the current behavior of the kernel is to actually append the boot loader command-line to the embedded command-line.
