You pass this function 'kimage->segment[i].buf', this looks like the user space
memory that contained the dtb when kexec-tools first ran to load the image.

This will work when you call it from machine_kexec_prepare(), but by the time we
get to machine_kexec() that process is long gone, and this pointer should be
considered junk.

I don't think its possible to find this information from machine_kexec(), as the
DTB will be split up into page size chunks and scattered through memory.

You want to put this at the start of machine_kexec_prepare(), otherwise we may
return from:

This maybe-return-an-error block needs to be the last thing in the function.


I'm not sure if the debug output is actually useful this early: kexec-tools
prints out exactly the same information shortly after this function returns.
