This patch introduces the architecture independent implementation the
sys_kexec_load, the compat_sys_kexec_load system calls.

Kexec on panic support has been integrated into the core patch and is
relatively clean.

In addition the hopefully architecture independent option
crashkernel=size@location has been docuemented.  It's purpose is to reserve
space for the panic kernel to live, and where no DMA transfer will ever be
setup to access.

I8K: Change to use stock dmi infrastructure instead of homegrown
     parsing code. The driver now requires box's DMI data to match
     list of supported models so driver can be safely compiled-in
     by default without fear of it poking into random SMM BIOS
     code. DMI checks can be ignored with i8k.ignore_dmi option.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
