[PATCH v1 8/8] arm64, kexec: enable MMU during kexec relocation

From: Pavel Tatashin
Date: Thu Aug 01 2019 - 11:24:58 EST


Now, that we have transitional page tables configured, temporarily enable
MMU to allow faster relocation of segments to final destination.

The performance data: for a moderate size kernel + initramfs: 25M the
relocation was taking 0.382s, with enabled MMU it now takes
0.019s only or x20 improvement.

The time is proportional to the size of relocation, therefore if initramfs
is larger, 100M it could take over a second.

Also, remove reloc_arg->head, as it is not needed anymore once MMU is
enabled.
