Unless I am mistaken, the compat functions are provided a stable ABI.  This
includes providing a stable version of xen_kexec_range_t in the form of
compat_kexec_range_t.  However, internally it doesn't really matter how xen
represents the data.

Currently the code provides for the creation of a compat version of all
kexec range functions, which use the compat_kexec_range_t function.  This
is difficult to extend if range code exists outside of xen/common/kexec.c.

The existence of "#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64" in the code suggests that some of
the range code might be better off in architecture specific code.
Furthermore, subsequent patches will introduce ia64-specific range handling
code, which really would be much better off somewhere in arch/ia64/ .

With this in mind, the handling of compat_kexec_range_t is changed such
that the code which reads and returns data from user-space translates
between compat_kexec_range_t and xen_kexec_range_t.  As, padding aside, the
two structures are currently the same this is quite easy. Things may get
more tricky in the future, but I don't believe this change is likely to
make things significantly worse (or better) in that regard. In any case,
refactoring can occur again as required.

Subsequent patches will add architecture specific code under xen/arch/
