Support for relocatable kernel in kexec-tools
This patch is based on the patch sent by Milton Miller with the subject [PATCH 1/2
kexec-tools] ppc64: new relocatble kernel activation ABI
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/5378/
Even with the above patch, the relocatable kernel always move to physical
address 0 (ie PHYSICAL_START). Following patch fixes this problem by marking
a local variable to 1 in purgatory during kdump kernel load time (kexec -p).
After a crash, purgatory sets __run_at_load variable location in the kernel
to 1 if the local variable is set to 1. So that the kernel will be running
as a relocatable kernel.
