878eae988b Relocate kernel to high address space (a static + 64 MB for now) to avoid
conflicts with the Linux host kernel. This lets you kexec an unmodified
GENERIC64.

79215b4a3d Add FDT reservations for memory areas used by OPAL or RTAS runtime firmware.
This allows a kexec'ed kernel to boot multiuser under PHYP.

a4f7863238 Add kexec-based Linux shim loader for use with the firmware petitboot
loader on PS3 and POWER8 systems. This is reasonably portable to other
architectures, especially FDT-based ones, if similar features are useful
elsewhere.

Netboot support is missing for now and will be added in a future commit,
at which time loader.ps3 will be garbage collected.
