Jarrett Farnitano a8311f647e kexec: yield to scheduler when loading kimage segments 
Without yielding while loading kimage segments, a large initrd will
block all other work on the CPU performing the load until it is
completed.  For example loading an initrd of 200MB on a low power single
core system will lock up the system for a few seconds.

To increase system responsiveness to other tasks at that time, call
cond_resched() in both the crash kernel and normal kernel segment
loading loops.

I did run into a practical problem.  Hardware watchdogs on embedded
systems can have short timers on the order of seconds.  If the system is
locked up for a few seconds with only a single core available, the
watchdog may not be pet in a timely fashion.  If this happens, the
hardware watchdog will fire and reset the system.

This really only becomes a problem when you are working with a single
core, a decently sized initrd, and have a constrained hardware watchdog.
