ea9e874b70 s390/kexec_file: Fix detection of text segment in ELF loader
[ Upstream commit 729829d775 ]

To register data for the next kernel (command line, oldmem_base, etc.) the
current kernel needs to find the ELF segment that contains head.S. This is
currently done by checking ifor 'phdr->p_paddr == 0'. This works fine for
the current kernel build but in theory the first few pages could be
skipped. Make the detection more robust by checking if the entry point lies
within the segment.

8be0188271 s390/kexec_file: Add ELF loader
Add an ELF loader for kexec_file. The main task here is to do proper sanity
checks on the ELF file. Basically all other functionality was already
implemented for the image loader.
