[PATCH v2] kexec/ppc64: leverage kexec_file_load support

Mon Mar 26 01:46:34 PDT 2018


PPC64 kernel now supports kexec_file_load system call. Leverage it by
enabling that support here. Note that loading crash kernel with this
system call is not yet supported in the kernel and trying to load one
will fail with '-ENOTSUPP' error.

Changes in v2:
* Avoided executable code from being added between variable declarations.
