Possible regression in kexec on ARM ARMv6 and ARMv7 cores

Hi Will, Hi All,

it appears that "ARM: proc: add definition of cpu_reset for
 ARMv6 and ARMv7 cores" (f4daf06fc23b99df5ca5b3e892428b91e148cc52),
which was introduced for 3.1-rc1, causes a regression and that
kexec no longer works on ARM. The board that I am testing
on is a Renesas Mackerel which has an SH7372 (ARMv7) processor.

I have included the patch below for reference.

    ARM: proc: add definition of cpu_reset for ARMv6 and ARMv7 cores
    
    This patch adds simple definitions of cpu_reset for ARMv6 and ARMv7
    cores, which disable the MMU via the SCTLR.
