generic: improve MIPS kexec support

It is based on patches from the linux-longsoon-community git tree:
http://dev.lemote.com/cgit/linux-loongson-community.git/

Now the kernel can use the command line parameter from kexec-tools.

Runtime tested on ar71xx with 2.6.39.4 (the wathdog must be stopped
before executing the new kernel). Compile tested with lantiq (3.1.4)
and brcm47xx (3.0.12).

+Subject: MIPS: Kexec: Init the arguments for the new kernel image
+
+Whenever the kexec-tools pass the command lines to the new kernel image,
+init the arguments as the ones for the 1st kernel image. This fixed the
+booting failure of Kexec on YeeLoong.
