[PATCH 08/15] kexec: New syscall kexec_file_load() declaration

[Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>]

This is the new syscall kexec_file_load() declaration/interface. I have
reserved the syscall number only for x86_64 so far. Other architectures
(including i386) can reserve syscall number when they enable the support
for this new syscall.
