4Subject: MIPS: Kexec: Enhance the support
5
6Changes:
7  o Print more information in machine_kexec() for debugging
8    E.g. with this information, the kexec_start_address has been found
9    it was wrong with 64bit kernel / o32 kexec-tools. Which must be
10    fixed later.
11  o Link relocate_kernel.S to a section for future extension
12    This allows more functions can be added for the kexec relocation
13    part even written in C. to add code into that section, you just need
14    to mark your function or data with __kexec or
15    __attribute__((__section__(".__kexec.relocate")))
16
17TODO:
18
191. Make 64bit kernel / o32|n32|64 kexec-tools works
20
21Fix the user-space kexec-tools, seems the tool only work for 32bit
22machine. So, we need to add 64bit support for it. The address of the
23entry point(kexec_start_address) is wrong and make the "kexec -e" fail.
24the real entry point must be read from the new kernel image by the
25user-space kexec-tools, otherwise, it will not work. The above 64bit
26support tested is 64bit kernel with o32 user-space kexec-tools. The root
27cause may be the different definition of virt_to_phys() and
28phys_to_virt() in the kexec-tools and kernel space for 64bit system /
29o32 kernel.

332. Pass the arguments from kexec-tools to the new kernel image
