From: Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxx>
On Tegra at least, this change allows kexec to work with SMP enabled.
Without this, machine_shutdown() simply puts all CPUs into a loop. If
the code of that loop is over-written, the CPUs may hang or crash (which
I do observe in practice), or cause the kexec'd kernel not to be able to
initialize them.
This fix has the added benefit that the kexec always happens on the boot
CPU, and thus kexec mirrors the initial kernel boot as much as possible.

Russell, I assume this should go into the ARM patch tracker if OK?
