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.

We may want to change the word 'failed' here, the helper function now also
covers systems that boot secondary processors with spin tables that are stuck in
the secondary_holding_pen:
"Can't kexec: secondary CPUs are stuck in the kernel.\n"
+			return -EBUSY;
+		}
+

+		if (num_online_cpus() > 1) {
+			if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU)) {
+				/* any_cpu as we don't mind being preempted */
+				int any_cpu = raw_smp_processor_id();
+
+				if (cpu_ops[any_cpu]->cpu_die)
+					return 0;
+			}
+
+			pr_err("Can't kexec: no mechanism to offline secondary CPUs.\n");
+			return -EBUSY;
+		}
This if() {} hunk isn't necessary with the version of cpus_are_stuck_in_kernel()
you have in patch 2. This logic is the '|| smp_spin_tables' part of that helper
function. (hibernate needed it too)
