Add coredump debugfs entry to configure the type of dump that will
be collected during recovery. User can select between default or
inline coredump functionality. Also coredump collection can be
disabled through this interface.
This functionality can be configured differently for different
remote processors.

Nit: It would be nice to have a
line feed after the string.
