[PATCH] kexec_core: Accept unaccepted kexec destination addresses

[Yan Zhao]

The kexec destination addresses (incluing those for purgatory, the new
kernel, boot params/cmdline, and initrd) are searched from the free area of
memblock or RAM resources. Since they are not allocated by the currently
running kernel, it is not guaranteed that they are accepted before
relocating the new kernel.

Accept the destination addresses for the new kernel, as the new kernel may
not be able to or may not accept them by itself.

Place the "accept" code immediately after the destination addresses pass
sanity checks, so the code can be shared by both users of the kexec_load
and kexec_file_load system calls.
