Kexec failure on RDC (and possibly other early x86) platforms

I've updated the patch to allow Kexec to work on RDC platforms
here:
http://bifferboard.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bifferboard/slack/kernel/2.6.32/0003-kexec-fix.patch

I'm curious as to how one can detect the presence of the CR4
register in assembler, as I'm sure it's possible, but I've just
#ifndefed out the offending instruction in this patch and it
seems to work with this change.

regards,
Biff.
