[MINI-OS PATCH 01/12] kexec: add kexec framework

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Add a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC for support of kexec-ing into a
new mini-os kernel. Add a related kexec.c source and a kexec.h header.

For now allow CONFIG_KEXEC to be set only for PVH variant of mini-os.

+ *
+ * - New kernel needs to be in memory in form of a ELF file in a virtual
+ *   memory region.
+ * - A new start_info structure is constructed in memory with the final
+ *   memory locations included.
+ * - All memory areas needed for kexec execution are being finalized.
+ * - From here on a graceful failure is no longer possible.
+ * - Grants and event channels are torn down.
+ * - A temporary set of page tables is constructed at a location where it
+ *   doesn't conflict with old and new kernel or start_info.
+ * - The final kexec execution stage is copied to a memory area below 4G which
+ *   doesn't conflict with the target areas of kernel etc.
+ * - Cr3 is switched to the new set of page tables.
+ * - Execution continues in the final execution stage.
+ * - All data is copied to its final addresses.
+ * - Processing is switched to 32-bit mode without address translation.
+ * - The new kernel is activated.
