[PATCH v1 0/2] kexec: Remove "weak" annotations from headers

[Philipp Rudo]

Hi Bjorn,

in recent patches AKASHI [1] and I [2] made some changes to the declarations
you are touching and already removed some of the weak statements. The patches
got accepted on linux-next and will (hopefully) be pulled for v4.17. So you
should prepare for some merge conflicts. Nevertheless three weak statements
still remain (arch_kexec_walk_mem & arch_kexec_apply_relocations*) so your
patch still makes totally sense.

Thanks
Philipp
