[PATCH 02/02] kexec: Move segment code to assembly file (x86_64)

[Magnus Damm]

kexec: Move segment code to assembly file (x86_64)

This patch moves the idt, gdt, and segment handling code from machine_kexec.c
to relocate_kernel.S. The main reason behind this move is to avoid code 
duplication in the Xen hypervisor. With this patch all code required to kexec
is put on the control page.

 Applies to 2.6.19.
