This patch provides kexec_file_ops for "Image"-format kernel. In this
implementation, a binary is always loaded with a fixed offset identified
in text_offset field of its header.
Regarding signature verification for trusted boot, this patch doesn't
contains CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG support, which is to be added later
in this series, but file-attribute-based verification is still a viable
option by enabling IMA security subsystem.
You can sign(label) a to-be-kexec'ed kernel image on target file system
with:
$ evmctl ima_sign --key /path/to/private_key.pem Image
On live system, you must have IMA enforced with, at least, the following
security policy:
"appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=imasig"
See more details about IMA here:

load_other_segments() is expected to allocate and place all the necessary
memory segments other than kernel, including initrd and device-tree
blob (and elf core header for crash).
While most of the code was borrowed from kexec-tools' counterpart,
users may not be allowed to specify dtb explicitly, instead, the dtb
presented by the original boot loader is reused.
arch_kimage_kernel_post_load_cleanup() is responsible for freeing arm64-
specific data allocated in load_other_segments().

Primary kernel calls machine_crash_shutdown() to shut down non-boot cpus
and save registers' status in per-cpu ELF notes before starting crash
dump kernel. See kernel_kexec().
Even if not all secondary cpus have shut down, we do kdump anyway.
As we don't have to make non-boot(crashed) cpus offline (to preserve
correct status of cpus at crash dump) before shutting down, this patch
also adds a variant of smp_send_stop().

Since arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() removes a mapping for crash dump
kernel image, the loaded data won't be preserved around hibernation.
In this patch, helper functions, crash_prepare_suspend()/
crash_post_resume(), are additionally called before/after hibernation so
that the relevant memory segments will be mapped again and preserved just
as the others are.
In addition, to minimize the size of hibernation image, crash_is_nosave()
is added to pfn_is_nosave() in order to recognize only the pages that hold
loaded crash dump kernel image as saveable. Hibernation excludes any pages
that are marked as Reserved and yet "nosave."

Add three new files, kexec.h, machine_kexec.c and relocate_kernel.S to the
arm64 architecture that add support for the kexec re-boot mechanism
(CONFIG_KEXEC) on arm64 platforms.
