Currently KEXEC_SEGMENT_MAX is only 16 which is too small for machine with
many memory ranges. When hibernate on a machine with disjoint memory we do
need one segment for each memory region. Increase this hard limit to 16K
which is reasonably large.

And change ->segment from a static array to a dynamically allocated memory.
