Jeremy Fitzhardinge 0341c14da4 x86: use _types.h headers in asm where available
In general, the only definitions that assembly files can use
are in _types.S headers (where available), so convert them.

Huang Ying f5deb79679 x86: kexec: Use one page table in x86_64 machine_kexec
Impact: reduce kernel BSS size by 7 pages, improve code readability

Two page tables are used in current x86_64 kexec implementation. One
is used to jump from kernel virtual address to identity map address,
the other is used to map all physical memory. In fact, on x86_64,
there is no conflict between kernel virtual address space and physical
memory space, so just one page table is sufficient. The page table
pages used to map control page are dynamically allocated to save
memory if kexec image is not loaded. ASM code used to map control page
is replaced by C code too.

Cyrill Gorcunov 288621e32a x86: relocate_kernel - use predefined PAGE_SIZE instead of own alias
This patch does clean up relocate_kernel_(32|64).S a bit by getting rid
of local PAGE_ALIGNED macro. We should use well-known PAGE_SIZE instead
