[PATCH 7/8] arm64/kexec: Add checks for KVM

Geoff Levand
2015-01-17T00:23:34Z

Add runtime checks that fail the arm64 kexec syscall for situations that would
result in system instability do to problems in the KVM kernel support.
These checks should be removed when the KVM problems are resolved fixed.
