In normal kexec, relocating kernel may cost 5 ~ 10 seconds, to copy all segments from vmalloced memory to kernel boot memory, because of disabled mmu.
We introduce quick kexec to save time of copying memory as above, just like kdump(kexec on crash), by using reserved memory "Quick Kexec".
Constructing quick kimage as the same as crash kernel, then simply copy all segments of kimage to reserved memroy.
We also add this support in syscall kexec_load using flags of KEXEC_QUICK.
