kexec: Move segment code to assembly files The following patches rearrange the lowlevel kexec code to perform idt, gdt and segment setup code in assembly on the code page instead of doing it in inline assembly in the C files.
Our dom0 Xen port of kexec and kdump executes the code page from the hypervisor when kexec:ing into a new kernel. Putting as much code as possible on the code page allows us to keep the amount of duplicated code low. These patches are part of the Xen port of kexec and kdump which recently has been accepted into the xen-unstable.hg tree. Sending them upstream now is an attempt to simplify future porting work.
