[PATCH] kexec: add kexec syscalls

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.
