This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump.  It implements the
following features:

- Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after
  kexec.

- Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.

The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in
physical mode (paging turning off).  This can be used to call BIOS code under
Linux.

kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and
the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:

       source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10

Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return:

1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:

CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y

2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one.

3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode"

4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1.

5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command
   line can be as follow:

   /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode

6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line:

   /sbin/kexec -e

Implementation point:

To support jumping without reserving memory.  One shadow backup page (source
page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination
page).  When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source
pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are
swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped.  Before jumping
to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the
destination pages and the source pages are swapped too.

C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between
kernel and called code.

A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to
indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.

Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

Commit edd8ce67 (Use extended crashkernel
command line on ppc64), changed the logic in reserve_crashkernel()
which deals with the crashkernel= command line option.

This introduced a bug in the case when there is no crashkernel= option,
or it is incorrect.  We would fall through and calculate the crash_size
based on the existing values in crashk_res.  If both start and end are 0,
the default, we calculate the crash_size as 1 byte - which is wrong.

Rework the logic so that we use crashk_res, regardless of whether it's
set by the command line or via the device tree (see prom.c).  Then check
if we have an empty range (end == start), and if so make sure to set
both end and start to zero (this is checked in machine_kexec_64.c).  Then
we calculate the crash_size once we know we have a non-zero range.

Finally we always want to warn the user if they specify a base != 32MB,
so remove the special case for that in the command line parsing case.

We're missing a few functions for kexec to compile on 32-bit. There's
nothing really 64-bit specific about the 64-bit versions, so make them
generic rather than adding empty definitions for 32-bit.

This patch merges, to some extent, the PPC32 and PPC64 kexec implementations.

We adopt the PPC32 approach of having ppc_md callbacks for the kexec functions.
The current PPC64 implementation becomes the "default" implementation for PPC64
which platforms can select if they need no special treatment.

I've added these default callbacks to pseries/maple/cell/powermac, this means
iSeries no longer supports kexec - but it never worked anyway.

I've renamed PPC32's machine_kexec_simple to default_machine_kexec, inline with
PPC64. Judging by the comments it might be better named machine_kexec_non_of,
or something, but at the moment it's the only implementation for PPC32 so it's
the "default".

Kexec requires machine_shutdown(), which is in machine_kexec.c on PPC32, but we
already have in setup-common.c on powerpc. All this does is call
ppc_md.nvram_sync, which only powermac implements, so instead make
machine_shutdown a ppc_md member and have it call core99_nvram_sync directly
on powermac.

I've also stuck relocate_kernel.S into misc_32.S for powerpc.

Built for ARCH=ppc, and 32 & 64 bit ARCH=powerpc, with KEXEC=y/n. Booted on
P5 LPAR and successfully kexec'ed.

Should apply on top of 493f25ef.
