This series adds the core support for kexec re-boot and kdump on
ARM64.This version of the series combines Takahiro's kdump patches
with my kexec patches. Please consider all patches for inclusion.
I just tested all the endian combinations of kexec LE->LE, LE->BE,
BE->BE, BE->LE, and both LE an BE kdump, and all work as expected.
To load a second stage kernel and execute a kexec re-boot or to work
with kdump on ARM64 systems a series of patches to kexec-tools [2],
which have not yet been merged upstream, are needed.
To examine vmcore (/proc/vmcore), you should use - gdb v7.7 or later
- crash v7.1.1 or later

We have been using the kexec/kdump patches on ARM64 and would like to
use them from upstream.
Assuming these are not going to be in Linux-4.5, a rebased set on
Linux-4.5 would be very useful.
Thank you for your work.
