The current kvm implementation keeps EL2 vector table installed even
when the system is shut down. This prevents kexec from putting the system
with kvm back into EL2 when starting a new kernel.

This patch resolves this issue by calling a cpu tear-down function via
reboot notifier, kvm_reboot_notify(), which is invoked by
kernel_restart_prepare() in kernel_kexec().
While kvm has a generic hook, kvm_reboot(), we can't use it here because
a cpu teardown function will not be invoked, under current implementation,
if no guest vm has been created by kvm_create_vm().
Please note that kvm_usage_count is zero in this case.

We'd better, in the future, implement cpu hotplug support and put the
arch-specific initialization into kvm_arch_hardware_enable/disable().
This way, we would be able to revert this patch.
