Some firmware will provide a ACPI HEST table with massive amount of entries, and the way how kernel handles these entries will consume a lot of memory which will lead to OOM issue in kdump kernel. During testing on certain machine, disable HEST saved ~60M of memory. Kdump is only for emergency use in case of a kernel panic, so temporarily disable hardware error report & recovery related feature is acceptable in general. So disable HEST support in kdump kernel to save memory. Currently such issue is only observed on x86_64, so limit this change to x86_64 only.
