When I was evaluating the suggestions, I realized that that particular ifdiffery was now used in 
only 3 locations, twice in kernel/crash_core.c and once in x86 crash.c.

With that realization, and the fact that we just jettisoned CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES for a 
#define, it seemed that there wasn't a compelling need to replace the HOTPLUG_CPU || MEMORY_HOTPLUG 
with a new CRASH_HOTPLUG Kconfig item.

As I'm re-reading that message, I suspect now the preference is to just to strike this ifdiffery 
line in this file and have the code always present?

If the preference is actually for CRASH_HOTPLUG, then let me know.

Thanks!
