This series adds the core support for kexec re-boot on ARM64.

Linux kernel support for kexec reboot [1] has been merged to the ARM64
for-next/core branch with the expectation that it will be included in the v4.8
stable kernel release.

There seems to have been quite a bit of discussion of this patchset.

This patchset consists of Geoff's kexec support and my kdump support.
Since the former has already been queued in arm64 subtree's for-next
branch, it will go into v4.8.

So please note it is solely my kdump patches that is under reviews now
as v23[1].

I am of a mind to release kexec-tools v2.0.12-rc1 (and thus v2.0.12)
without these changes as the v4.7 kernel is already out and that
is the timing I had in mind for kexec-tools v2.0.12 (the lateness on
my shoulders).

The implication is the arm64 patches would likely end up in the v2.0.13
release of kexec-tools which I aim to release around the time of the v4.9
kernel.
