Subject[PATCH] Fix kexec reboot on ARM

When kexec() runs, it eventually sets up a 1-to-1 memory map, then
invokes cpu_reset(). When it invokes cpu_reset (which turns
off the MMU), it does so at its virtual address. Across the code that
disables the MMU, virtual and physical addresses have to be the same,
otherwise after disabling the MMU, the PC is invalid.

The simplest fix is to invoke cpu_reset() at its one-to-one mapped
address.

I've tested on KZM (arm v6) and Beagleboard (omap)
