Patches adding support for hibernation on ARM
- ARM hibernation / suspend-to-disk
- Change soft_restart to use non-tracing raw_local_irq_disable
Patches based on v3.13 tag, verified hibernation on beaglebone black on a
branch based on 3.13 merged with initial omap support from Russ Dill which
can be found here (includes v1 patchset):

Use raw_local_irq_disable in place of local_irq_disable to avoid
infinite abort recursion while tracing. (unchanged since v3)

Adds support for ARM based hibernation
Additional notes:
-----------------
There are two checkpatch warnings added by this patch. These follow
behavior in existing hibernation implementations on other platforms.
WARNING: externs should be avoided in .c files
#116: FILE: arch/arm/kernel/hibernate.c:26:
+extern const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;
This extern is picking up the linker nosave region definitions, only
used in hibernate. Follows same extern line used mips, powerpc, s390,
sh, sparc, x86 & unicore32
WARNING: externs should be avoided in .c files
#191: FILE: arch/arm/kernel/hibernate.c:101:
+extern void call_with_stack(void (*fn)(void *), void *arg, void *sp);
This extern is used in the arch/arm/ in hibernate, process and bL_switcher
Changes in v4:
--------------
* updated comment for soft_restart with review feedback
* dropped freeze_processes patch which was queued separately
to 3.14 by Rafael Wysocki:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/25/683
Changes in v3:
--------------
* added comment to use of soft_restart
* drop irq disable soft_restart patch
* add patch to avoid tracers in soft_restart by using raw_local_irq_*
Changes in v2:
--------------
* Removed unneeded flush_thread, use of __naked and cpu_init.
* dropped Cyril Chemparathy <[email protected]> from Cc: list as
emails are bouncing.
