[PATCH 2/8] kexec_file: Generalize kexec_add_buffer.

Thiago Jung Bauermann bauerman at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Sat Jun 11 20:10:16 PDT 2016


Allow architectures to specify different memory walking functions for
kexec_add_buffer. Intel uses iomem to track reserved memory ranges,
but PowerPC uses the memblock subsystem.

Also, factor kexec_locate_mem_hole out of kexec_add_buffer. It will be
used by the PowerPC kexec_file_load implementation to find free memory
for the purgatory stack.
