[PATCH RFC v1 0/3] hibernation support on ARM

[Sebastian Capella]

Patches adding support for hibernation on ARM
  - ARM hibernation / suspend-to-disk
  - Fix hang in freeze_processes during hibernation
  - add an irq disabled version of soft_restart

Patches based on v3.13 tag, verified hibernation on beaglebone black on a branch
based on 3.13 merged with initial omap support from Russ Dill which be found here:

Additional notes:

There are two checkpatch warnings added by this patch.  These follow
behavior in existing hibernation implementations on other platforms.

    WARNING: externs should be avoided in .c files
    #116: FILE: arch/arm/kernel/hibernate.c:26:
    +extern const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;

  This extern is picking up the linker nosave region definitions, only
  used in hibernate.  Follows same extern line used mips, powerpc, s390,
  sh, sparc, x86 & unicore32

    WARNING: externs should be avoided in .c files
    #191: FILE: arch/arm/kernel/hibernate.c:101:
    +extern void call_with_stack(void (*fn)(void *), void *arg, void *sp);

  This extern is used in the arch/arm/ in hibernate, process and bL_switcher
