PATCH 1/1 MIPS: kernel kexec crashdump, 64-bit support, SMP etc.

This patch updates kernel part of kexec for MIPS platform to support kdump, 64-bit, SMP and simplify code adaptation to new boards. It does the following:

- hooks for machine-specific actions are introduced (_machine_kexec_prepare,
_machine_kexec_shutdown, _machine_crash_shutdown);
- kexec reboot on SMP machine is implemented;
- add boot parameters passing to new kernel (array kexec_args[] is copied to
registers a0-a3 on reboot );
- crash dump functionality is added (boot kernel with non-default physical start, parse "crashkernel=..." command line parameter, copy_oldmem_page() is implemeted to read memory dump after reboot-on-crashi,
crash_setup_regs()
is updated to correctly store registers on crash);

kexec/kdump funtionality was tested on several Cavium Octeon boards (mips64 SMP). The way we do it was the following:
- _machine_kexec_prepare was find kexec segment with command line and save it's pointed into internal bootloader structure.
- _machine_kexec_shutdown was used to stop boards IO and make all non-boot CPUs spin in function relocated_kexec_smp_wait()
- _machine_crash_shutdown just calls default_machine_crash_shutdown() We tested 1) 'common' kexec reboot (by 'kexec -e'), 2) kexec-on-panic ('kexec -p ...') and 3) access to/proc/vmcore (with gdb).

Nice :) could you also send this patch to the linux-mips
mailing-list ?

Apprently all tabs in the patch have been converted to spaces and some lines seem to have been wrapped by your mailer.
