This patch implements the in kernel kexec functionality. It implements a
new system call kexec_file_load. I think parameter list of this system
call will change as I have not done the kernel image signature handling
yet. I have been told that I might have to pass the detached signature
and size as part of system call.
Previously segment list was prepared in user space. Now user space just
passes kernel fd, initrd fd and command line and kernel will create a
segment list internally.
This patch contains generic part of the code. Actual segment preparation
and loading is done by arch and image specific loader. Which comes in
next patch.
