3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Phileas Fogg <phileas-f...@mail.ru>
commit 8520e443aa56cc157b015205ea53e7b9fc831291 upstream.
Disable hard IRQ before kexec a new kernel image.
Not doing it can result in corrupted data in the memory segments
reserved for the new kernel.
