[PATCH] powerpc/kexec: Fix kexec when using VMX optimised memcpy

[Anton Blanchard]

commit b3f271e86e5a (powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and
enhanced prefetch) uses VMX when it is safe to do so (ie not in
interrupt). It also looks at the task struct to decide if we have to
save the current tasks' VMX state.

kexec calls memcpy() at a point where the task struct may have been
overwritten by the new kexec segments. If it has been overwritten
then when memcpy -> enable_altivec looks up current->thread.regs->msr
we get a cryptic oops or lockup.

I also notice we aren't initialising thread_info->cpu, which means
smp_processor_id is broken. Fix that too.
