[PATCH 2/2] ARM: kexec: Fix crash_setup_regs() for ARMv7 and CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL

 * Fix kexec build failure with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL.

 * Avoids deprecated/forbidden sp and pc usage in for ARMv7 onwards,
retaining compatibility with older architecture versions.

 * The pc value saved to newregs is now aligned on a predictable
instruction boundary.

(stmia { ... pc } or str pc has implementation-defined results
in most versions of the ARM architecutre, and is prohibited
(unpredictable) in Thumb-2.)

 * Switch to named inline asm arguments (else I get readily confused ...)

The resulting code should be compatible with all architecture versions >= v3,
with or without CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL.

Applies cleanly on v2.6.37-rc1.
