The purgatory code defines global variables which are referenced via a
symbol lookup in the kexec code (core and arch).
A recent commit addressing sparse warnings made these static and thereby
broke kexec_file.
Why did this happen? Simply because the whole machinery is undocumented and
lacks any form of forward declarations. The variable names are unspecific
and lack a prefix, so adding forward declarations creates shadow variables
in the core code. Aside of that the code relies on magic constants and
duplicate struct definitions with no way to ensure that these things stay
in sync. The section placement of the purgatory variables happened by
chance and not by design.
Unbreak kexec and cleanup the mess:
- Add proper forward declarations and document the usage
- Use common struct definition
- Use the proper common defines instead of magic constants
- Add a purgatory_ prefix to have a proper name space
- Use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of a homebrewn reimplementation
- Add proper sections to the purgatory variables [ From Mike ]

Sparse emits warning, 'symbol not declared' for a function that has
neither file scope nor a forward declaration. The functions only call
site is an ASM file.
Add a header file with the function declaration. Include the header file in
the C source file defining the function in order to fix the sparse
warning. Include the header file in ASM file containing the call site to
document the usage.

Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two
kernels. This name, concept and some code has been taken from
kexec-tools. Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in
minimal environment. So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in
long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code.
This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various
segments which have been loaded into memory. So first we verify that the
kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make
progress only if checsums are verified.
This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.
