Add runtime checks that fail the arm64 kexec syscall for situations that would
result in system instability do to problems in the KVM and EFI kernel support.
These checks should be removed when the KVM and EFI problems are fixed.

v2: Typo fixes.

    Er, failed to notice the first time: you do not need to break up the 
message. This helps finding the messages in the kernel code. If you would have 
run the patch thru scripst/checkpatch.pl you would have gotten the actual 
warnings about that...
