This patch implements the functionality of jumping between the kexeced
kernel and the original kernel.
A new flag for sys_kexec_load named KEXEC_JUMP_BACK is added to
indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.
To support jumping between two kernels, before jumping to (executing)
the new kernel and jumping back to the original kernel, the devices
are put into quiescent state, and the state of devices and CPU is
saved. After jumping back from kexeced kernel and jumping to the new
kernel, the state of devices and CPU are restored accordingly. The
devices/CPU state save/restore code of software suspend is called to
implement corresponding function.
To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page
(source page) is allocated for each page used by new (kexeced) kernel
(destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of new kernel is
loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages
and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages
are backupped. Before jumping to the new (kexeced) kernel and after
jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the
source pages are swapped too.
A jump back protocol is defined and documented.

+ THE LINUX/I386 JUMP BACK PROTOCOL
+ ---------------------------------
+
+ Huang Ying <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
+ Last update 2007-09-19
+
+Currently, the following versions of the jump back protocol exist.
+
+Protocol 1.00: Jumping between original kernel and kexeced kernel
+ support.
+
+
+**** LOAD THE JUMP BACK IMAGE
+
+Jump back image is an ordinary ELF 64 executable file, it can be
+loaded just as other ELF64 image. That is, the PT_LOAD segments should
+be loaded into their physical address.
+
+Before loading all segments of jump back image, the jump back header
+should be checked. Jump back header can be loaded from the 4K page at
+the jump back entry in jump back image.
+
+The header looks like:
+
+Offset Proto Name Meaning
+/Size
+
+C00/2 1.00+ magic Magic number: 0x626A
+C02/2 1.00+ version Jump back protocol version
+C04/4 1.00+ backup_pages_map Map from target page to backup page
+
+Note: unlike ordinary ELF 64 file, the jump back image may occupy most
+memory pages, so it is important for loader to verify there is no
+conflict between pages of loaded image and pages used by loader
+itself.
+
+
+**** DETAILS OF JUMP BACK HEADER
+
+For each field, some are information from the jump back image to
+loader ("read"), some are expected to be filled out by the loader
+("write"), and some are expected to be read and modified by the loader
+("modify").
+
+All general purpose boot loaders should write the fields marked
+(obligatory).
+
+The byte order of all fields is little endian.
+
+Field name: magic
+Type: read
+Offset/size: 0xc00/2
+Protocol: 1.00+
+
+ Contains the magic number "jb" (0x626A)
+
+Field name: version
+Type: read

+**** JUMP BACK TO THE JUMP BACK IMAGE
+
+To jump back to the jump back image, just jump to the jump back
+entry. At entry, the CPU must be in 32-bit protected mode with paging
+disabled; the CS, DS and SS must be 4G flat segments; if jumping back
+to loader is supported, %edi should be the jump back entry of loader,
+otherwise it should be zero.
