This version has the struct kexec_buf documentation comments that were
in patch 3/9. I fixed the names of the struct members, and changed their
descriptions to try to be clearer.

Subject: [PATCH 2/9] kexec_file: Allow arch-specific memory walking for
 kexec_add_buffer

Allow architectures to specify a different memory walking function for
kexec_add_buffer. x86 uses iomem to track reserved memory ranges, but
PowerPC uses the memblock subsystem.
