[RFC PATCH v4 07/20] x86/kexec: Copy control page into place in machine_kexec_prepare()

[David Woodhouse]

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw at amazon.co.uk>

There's no need for this to wait until the actual machine_kexec() invocation;
future changes will need to make the control page read-only and executable,
so all writes should be completed before machine_kexec_prepare() returns.
