Subject: [ 096/153] powerpc/kexec: Disable hard IRQ before kexec

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Phileas Fogg <phileas-fogg@...l.ru>

commit 8520e443aa56cc157b015205ea53e7b9fc831291 upstream.

Disable hard IRQ before kexec a new kernel image.
Not doing it can result in corrupted data in the memory segments
reserved for the new kernel.
