[PATCH v2 7/8] arm64/kexec: Add checks for KVM and EFI

Fri Nov 14 10:28:39 PST 2014
Add runtime checks that fail the arm64 kexec syscall for situations that would
result in system instability do to problems in the KVM and EFI kernel support.
These checks should be removed when the KVM and EFI problems are fixed.
