Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/purgatory: provide config to disable purgatory
Disabling purgatory reduces the boot time if it is not needed
as the sha256 digest of kexec segments is no longer calculated
or verified. This helps reduce the downtime of servers when
the host kernel managing multiple VMs needs to be updated via kexec.
The time taken from reboot to running init process was measured
with both purgatory enabled and disabled over 20 runs and the
averages are:
Purgatory disabled:
- TSC = 3908766161 cycles
- ktime = 606.8 ms
Purgatory enabled:
- TSC = 5005811885 cycles (28.1% worse)
- ktime = 843.1 ms (38.9% worse)
Hence disabling purgatory has a significant improvement in kexec
time.

v2 changes:
- Updated commit message to include timing and usecase.
- Fixed bug in v1 in which bootparam_load_addr was not passed when
purgatory was disabled.
