[PATCH v2 0/7] kexec: add generic support for elf kernel images

[Sven Schnelle]

Hi List,

i've split up the patch a bit more. The first one move the generic elf stuff
out of arch/powerpc to linux/kexec_elf.c, and prefixes the exposed functions
with kexec_. That other patches remove stuff that is not used as proposed in
the review.

Changes to v1:
 - split up patch into smaller pieces
 - rebase onto powerpc/next
 - remove unused variable in kexec_elf_load()

Changes to RFC version:
 - remove unused Elf_Rel macro
 - remove section header parsing
 - remove PURGATORY_STACK_SIZE
 - change order of elf_*_to_cpu() functions
 - remove elf_addr_to_cpu macro
