[PATCH] kexec/powerpc: Handle buffer overflow in kernel command line

Hello Suzuki,

Conflicts occur when I tried to apply the patch to latest kexec-tools by
using git am.

Applying: kexec/powerpc: Handle buffer overflow in kernel command line
/data/kexec-tools/.git/rebase-apply/patch:79: trailing whitespace.
		
error: patch failed: kexec/arch/ppc/kexec-elf-ppc.c:156
error: kexec/arch/ppc/kexec-elf-ppc.c: patch does not apply
error: patch failed: kexec/arch/ppc/kexec-uImage-ppc.c:81
error: kexec/arch/ppc/kexec-uImage-ppc.c: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 kexec/powerpc: Handle buffer overflow in kernel command line
When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am --skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort".

Thanks
Zhang
