ab6b1d1fc4 powerpc: ima: send the kexec buffer to the next kernel
The IMA kexec buffer allows the currently running kernel to pass the
measurement list via a kexec segment to the kernel that will be kexec'd.

This is the architecture-specific part of setting up the IMA kexec
buffer for the next kernel.  It will be used in the next patch.

a0458284f0 powerpc: Add support code for kexec_file_load()
This patch adds the support code needed for implementing
kexec_file_load() on powerpc.

This consists of functions to load the ELF kernel, either big or little
endian, and setup the purgatory enviroment which switches from the first
kernel to the second kernel.

None of this code is built yet, as it depends on CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE which
we have not yet defined. Although we could define CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE in
this patch, we'd then have a window in history where the kconfig symbol
is present but the syscall is not, which would be awkward.
