Title:
  kexec-tools does not build for armhf

Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On armhf system kexec build fails as follows:
  gcc -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I./include -I./util_lib/include -Iinclude/ -I./kexec/libfdt -I./kexec/arch/arm/include  -c -MD -o kexec/arch/arm/phys_to_virt.o kexec/arch/arm/phys_to_virt.c
  make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'kexec/arch/arm/iomem.o', needed by 'build/sbin/kexec'.  Stop.

  The fix for this issue is already upstream:

  Subject: [PATCH] arm: do not build iomem.o target with no soruce

  Header files should be added to the distribution but not
  used to derive targets for compilation. In this an attempt was
  made to build iomem.o, but iomem.c does not exist so this fails.

  Fixes: 1574ff1aae4f ("arm: include phys_to_virt.h and iomem.h in distribution")

  [Test Case]
  Build kexec-tools package from Xenial/Yakkety source in armhf system.

  [Regression Potential]
  Since patch is confined to arm there is a low overall risk of regression
